This book is part of the Chemistry Student Guides series and has been co-authored by lecturers and students from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford and a structural scientist from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. The book provides a comprehensive grounding in first row transition metal chemistry.
Two topics that are central to transition metal chemistry are Coordination Chemistry and Organometallic Chemistry and these are commonly taught separately despite there being extensive overlap and sharing of key concepts. We think this somewhat artificial separation of topics makes it harder to appreciate the key chemical theories which underpin all transition metal chemistry. With that in mind, our aim in writing this book is to provide one text which builds your understanding of the structure, bonding and reactivity of all first-row transition metal compounds. We will introduce you to many of the fundamental principles of transition metal chemistry and explain the models which allow us to rationalise and predict the bonding and reactivity of these species. We hope that our approach will provide a broad perspective on this important segment of the periodic table and ultimately make the chemistry easier to understand.
Exploring the different perspectives of lecturers and students has been a big part of the writing process for this text. The story that we tell reflects this co-authorship. You will see that we adopt a tutorial style; text is interspersed with hints to help with your understanding and gently steer you away from common misconceptions. Additionally, the conceptual models presented are supported through experimental data using structures from the Cambridge Structural Database to give you a sense of the way transition metal compounds look in reality.
We hope the collaborative way that we have written this book makes it easier for you to absorb the ideas we present and to test your knowledge as it develops over the course of reading the chapters.
Good luck! We hope you enjoy getting to know the transition metals and becoming confident in the theories that underpin their chemistry.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
