Books in the Special Topics in Inorganic Chemistry series

A complete, up-to-date treatment of ligand field theory and its applications Ligand Field Theory and Its Applications presents an up-to-date account of ligand field theory, the model currently used to describe the metal-ligand interactions in transition metal compounds, and the way it is used to interpret the physical properties of the complexes.

Defects in Solids covers the basic concepts and principles in the chemistry and physics of defects, helping readers understand how to manipulate defects in a material so as to endow it with new and desirable properties (defect engineering). Emphasis is placed on linking principles to real-world processes and applications.
