d- and f- Block Chemistry book provides the fundamentals of d- and f-block metals, including aspects of structure, bonding, chemical thermodynamics and spectroscopy, which underpin studies of the chemistry of these elements. Aims to provide an introduction to the principles underlying the chemistry of the d- and f-block metals. It briefly describes the origins, uses, and importance of these elements before considering the factors underlying their chemical properties. It describes aspects of structure, bonding, chemical thermodynamics and spectroscopy, which underpin studies of the chemistry of these elements. Examples are drawn from different parts of the d- and f-blocks to illustrate particular points and study questions allow you to practice the application of the principles learned.

Wiley-RSC

Metals in pharmaceuticals have played an increasingly important role in medicine in cancer therapy and diagnostic imaging methods. This book focuses on the role that transition metals play in clinical applications and begins with a brief historical review of the chemistry of d- and f- block metals. Subsequent sections discuss metallodrugs for a number of different applications, the design of new drugs and the relationship between structure and function. Diagnostic applications of metal compounds in anatomical and functional imaging, and therapeutic applications of metals compounds are explained. Ideal for both academia and industry and includes examples of real-life applications!

With an emphasis on co-ordination compounds, d- and f-Block Chemistry aims to provide an introduction to the principles underlying the chemistry of the d- and f-block metals. It briefly describes the origins, uses and importance of these elements before considering the factors underlying their chemical properties. The book describes aspects of structure, bonding, chemical thermodynamics and spectroscopy, which underpin studies of the chemistry of these elements. Examples are drawn from different parts of the d- or f-blocks to illustrate particular points and study questions allow students to practice the application of the principles they have learned. The text assumes a basic knowledge of symmetry, atomic structure, thermodynamics and electrode potentials. A familiarity with the qualitative use of the molecular orbital approach to bonding is also assumed, although an understanding of group theory is not essential. The material is aimed at first and second year undergraduates, with a view to providing a basis for more advanced studies of the reactions, electronic structures, spectra and magnetism of transition metal complexes. Additional material is available on the website at www.rsc.org/tct Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.
