Inorganic chemistry is an extensive subject that at first sight can seem daunting. This book makes every effort to help by organizing the information systematically, and by including numerous features that are designed to make learning inorganic chemistry more effective and more enjoyable. Whether you work through the book chronologically or dip in at an appropriate point in your studies, this text will engage you and help you to develop a deeper understanding of the subject. Written for University students this text is useful for pharmacy and pharmacology, pharmaceutical sciences, medicinal chemistry and other health-care related subjects, this accessible text introduces chemical principles with relevant pharmaceutical examples rather than as stand-alone concepts, allowing students to see the relevance of this subject for their future professions. The content of this book, which encompasses the chemistry of all of the chemical elements and their compounds, including interpretative discussion in the light the latest advances in structural chemistry, general valence theory, and, particularly, ligand field theory, provides a reasonable achievement for students at the B.Sc. honors level in British universities and at the senior year graduate level in American universities. Our experience is that a course of about eighty lectures is desirable as a guide to the study of this material. The goals for Inorganic Chemistry remain essentially with a primary emphasis on facts, and then to use the student's growing factual knowledge as a basis for discussing the important principles of periodicity in structure, bonding, and reactivity.
