Synopsis

Characterisation Methods in Inorganic Chemistry provides a fresh alternative to the existing theoretical and descriptive inorganic chemistry texts by adopting a techniques-based approach and providing problem-solving opportunities to show how analytical methods are used to help us characterise inorganic compounds.
The text covers the full range of analytical techniques employed by inorganic chemists, emphasizing those in most frequent use: NMR, diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and IR. The additional coverage on other techniques allows readers to study these less widely used methods when relevant to their specific course material.
Each chapter follows a clear, structured format, which begins with a brief introduction to the technique and basic theory behind it before moving on to data collection and analysis, typical data and interpretation, with numerous worked examples, self- tests and problems.

About this title

About the Author

Mark Weller is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Bath. His research interests cover a wide range of synthetic inorganic chemistry and characterisation methods. He is the author of over 300 primary literature publications and has taught both inorganic chemistry and physical chemistry methods at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for over 30 years covering a wide range of topics in materials chemistry, crystallography and analytical techniques. He is a co-author of OUP's Inorganic Chemistry , now in its sixth edition.


Nigel Young is Senior Lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Hull. His research interests, resulting in over 75 papers and reviews, include matrix isolation techniques to stabilise and characterise highly reactive and unstable species, and the application of X-ray absorption spectroscopy to structural problems within inorganic and materials chemistry. He has taught a wide range of inorganic chemistry, spectroscopy and bonding courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level for over 25 years.
