Ligand field theory is widely used to interpret the properties of transition metals in biologically important molecules and metallocene catalysis. This is the long awaited update to Figgis' book from 1966. Since the original book was published, the area of ligand field theory has greatly matured and it is now understood how, why and under what conditions it can be successfully applied.

Provides a thorough understanding of the chemistry and physics of defects, enabling the reader to manipulate them in the engineering of materials.
Reinforces theoretical concepts by placing emphasis on real world processes and applications.
Includes two kinds of end-of-chapter problems: multiple choice (to test knowledge of terms and principles) and more extensive exercises and calculations (to build skills and understanding).
Supplementary material on crystallography and band structure are included in separate appendices.
