Wiley Ligand Field Theory and Its Applications: 2 Chemistry Book

Ligand Field Theory and Its Applications provides a modern and comprehensive account of the model used to describe metal-ligand interactions in transition metal compounds. This text is designed to help readers understand how these interactions interpret the physical properties of various complexes. The book covers a wide range of theoretical frameworks, from the traditional electrostatic crystal field model used by physicists to more modern covalent approaches. It includes detailed discussions on the angular overlap model, which uses parameters that relate directly to chemical bonding. This makes it a valuable resource for students and professionals studying inorganic chemistry and transition metal behavior. Whether you are looking at classical models or contemporary covalent theories, this volume offers an up-to-date treatment of the subject matter.
