Techniques in Inorganic Chemistry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781138117778)

A collection of articles from international experts, this volume examines modern methods used for studying the properties and structures of inorganic compounds. The book begins by examining developments in small-molecule x-ray crystallography. This is followed by a description of single crystal neutron diffraction, a chapter on quantum chemistry, and an exploration of two important spectroscopic techniques. It describes intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE), NMR experiments and diffusion experiments for elucidating supramolecular structure--offering examples that demonstrate theoretical aspects of the methodology. The final chapter summarizes recent experimental and theoretical work on pressure effects on the d-d and luminescence spectra of transition metal complexes.
