Inorganic Chemistry in Focus III

This third volume in the series of hot topics from inorganic chemistry covers recent developments in the field of metal clusters, with a total of 21 contributions providing an in-depth view. The result is a unique perspective on solid-state chemistry, illustrating all facets of this interdisciplinary area. With its didactic focus, this volume addresses a wide readership, such that both students and specialists will profit from the expert contributions. Intended to serve as a link between textbooks and research- and data-oriented monographs and handbooks, the "Inorganic Chemistry in Focus" series tackles more specialized topics, while offering a dedicated approach as well as deeper insights. Dedicated to John D. Corbett upon his 80th birthday, a pioneer and outstanding contributor to this field of inorganic chemistry, many of the authors here are his former students--highlighting the directions in which they have taken contemporary metal cluster research.Meyer, Gerd is the author of 'Inorganic Chemistry in Focus III ', published 2006 under ISBN 9783527315109 and ISBN 3527315101.
