Introduction to coordination chemistry / By Geoffrey A. Lawrance. Chichester: Wiley, 2010. xiii, 290 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. Introduction to Coordination Chemistry by Geoffrey A. Lawrance provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, structures, properties, and applications of coordination compounds. The book explains how metal ions interact with ligands to form coordination complexes and examines the nature of metal–ligand bonding using modern theories such as crystal field theory and molecular orbital theory. The text covers key topics including nomenclature, stereochemistry, isomerism, stability, reaction mechanisms, spectroscopy, and electronic properties of coordination compounds. It also explores the role of coordination chemistry in biological systems, industrial processes, catalysis, environmental science, and medicine. Through clear explanations and practical examples, the book demonstrates the importance of coordination compounds in both fundamental chemistry and real-world applications. Overall, the book serves as an essential introductory resource for undergraduate students studying inorganic and coordination chemistry, providing a strong foundation for understanding the behavior and significance of metal complexes. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/176 http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/176 http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/176 lcc BK 0 4446 4446 0 0 lcc 0 0 SCI DL DL SCI QD1–QE601 2026-06-02 0 DUCE QD474.L387 2026-06-02 11:13:49 2026-06-02 BK
