Synopsis

This go-to text provides information and insight into physical inorganic chemistry essential to our understanding of chemical reactions on the molecular level. One of the only books in the field of inorganic physical chemistry with an emphasis on mechanisms, it features contributors at the forefront of research in their particular fields. This essential text discusses the latest developments in a number of topics currently among the most debated and researched in the world of chemistry, related to the future of solar energy, hydrogen energy, biorenewables, catalysis, environment, atmosphere, and human health.

About this title

About the Author

ANDREJA BAKAC received her PhD in chemistry from the University of Zagreb. She is a Senior Scientist at the Ames National Laboratory and Adjunct Professor in the Chemistry Department at?Iowa State University. Among her many research interests are kinetics and mechanisms of inorganic and organometallic reactions, photochemistry, free-radical reactions, catalysis, and activation of dioxygen.

From the Back Cover

Details key knowledge and the most recent advances in physical inorganic chemistry

Inorganic chemistry has been changing dramatically over the years, fueled by the growing understanding of the importance and roles of metals in biology, medicine, and catalysis, and by the new and important thrusts into modern materials. Written by contributors at the forefront of the field and edited by Andreja Bakac, Physical Inorganic Chemistry provides insight into the role, capabilities, and applications of physical inorganic chemistry in some of the most vibrant areas of modern science.

The book addresses a wide range of topics at a fundamental level, with a unique emphasis on mechanisms. Its twelve chapters cover:

• Recent advances in activation of traditionally unreactive molecules such as molecular hydrogen, molecular oxygen, and hydrocarbons

• Developments bearing on the future of solar energy, hydrogen energy, biorenewables, catalysis, and human health

Offering comprehensive information and a much-needed perspective, Physical Inorganic Chemistry is an invaluable resource for researchers, professors, and students alike.
