The Simplifying Synthesis Ultimate Guide To Bonding In d-Metal Coordination Complexes

An (almost) complete inorganic chemistry guide to the bonding in d-metal coordination complexes. Section 1 describes the basic structure of inorganic metal complexes, ligand-metal interactions and isomerism, Section 2 deals with Crystal Field Theory, Ligand Field Stabilization Energy, Magnetic Properties and the Jahn-Teller Effect and Section 3 deals with Ligand Field Theory, pi-bonding, trans effect and inverted ligand fields.
