The Chemical Bond II

Meer over het boek

The series Structure and Bonding publishes critical reviews on research topics related to chemical structure and bonding, covering the entire Periodic Table. It addresses structural and bonding issues for all elements and highlights emerging areas in modern structural and theoretical chemistry, including nanostructures, molecular electronics, designed molecular solids, surfaces, metal clusters, and supramolecular structures. The series encompasses physical and spectroscopic techniques for determining and modeling structures, focusing on scientific results rather than technical details. It also explores bonding models and generalizations that clarify reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes. Each volume is thematic, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of areas with emerging insights that interest a broader scientific audience. Reviews critically survey specific aspects of the topic, contextualizing them within the volume. Significant developments from the last 5 to 10 years are presented with selected examples to illustrate key principles. While not exhaustive in data, the coverage emphasizes conceptual understanding, enabling non-specialists to grasp the presented data. Future research directions in the field are encouraged. Volume editors invite review articles for individual volumes.
