A revised and updated English version of a postgraduate textbook based on teaching. The term "inorganic" is used in a broad sense as the book covers the structural chemistry of representative elements (including carbon) in the Periodic Table, organometallics, coordination polymers, host-guest systems and supramolecular assemblies.
Part I of the book reviews the basic bonding theories, including a chapter on computational chemistry. Part II introduces point groups and space groups and their chemical applications. Part III comprises a succinct account of the structural chemistry of the...

This book focuses on two main topics in fundamental structural chemistry: the properties of chemical bonding derived from the behaviour of the microscopic particles and their wave functions, and the three-dimensional molecular and crystal structures. The principle that "structure determines properties and properties reflect structures" is clearly demonstrated. This book's emphasis is on practical examples linking structure with properties and applications which provide invaluable insight for students and should thus stimulate their mind to deal with problems in topics concerned.

A revised and updated English version of a postgraduate textbook that has grown out of several years of classroom development. The term "inorganic" is used in a broad sense as the book covers the structural chemistry of representative elements (including carbon) in the Periodic Table, organometallics, coordination polymers, host-guest systems and supramolecular assemblies.
