About this title

Review

John Burgess, a well respected chemist, covers principles and chemical interactions of inorganic solution chemistry in a student-friendly style. So much of core inorganic chemistry in the book provides lecturers with a student development basis and brain-storming tutorial sessions. It is recommended as the backbone for a module in an undergraduate honors degree chemistry course., Education in Chemistry
The book contains a wealth of data and examples in tabular and graphical format. Does a very good job discussing subtle and practical considerations for investigating ions in solution. It presents theoretical and background information with brief and to-the-point explanations, no wasted words. A supplement for graduate or advanced senior-level courses, and a very good reference on inorganic solution chemistry., Chemical Education Today USA
Dr Burgess writes extremely well and is informative on all aspects. I shall recommend it as a book which undergraduates should certainly consult, and from which many will profit., University of Glasgow

Synopsis

This outline of inorganic solution chemistry treats a chemical area that is usually only rather cursorily covered in most undergraduate textbooks. A feature of this new text is its coverage, both of simple cations and anions and of a selection of complexes, to provide a balanced coverage of inorganic species. The first half of the book covers fundamental topics such as the extent and nature of solvation of ionic species in solution. The second half deals with such aspects of thermodynamic and kinetic behaviour as acidity, polymerization, solvent exchange, complex formation, redox properties, and electron transfer reactions. Much of the book is devoted to aqueous solutions, but non-aqueous media feature predominantly in appropriate sections.
