By Joan Ribas Gispert Coordination Chemistry (1st Edition) Paperback – 10 April 2008

This truly is in an excellent book fleshing out all aspects of coordination chemistry. It covers areas from 1st year all the way up to 4th year chemistry and beyond. I would strongly recommend students to buy this book and continue to read it throughout their degree. Even faculty members will find something for them with ideas to inspire their research.

It is a very good book.

Exactly as I was expecting.

Aunque era un regalo para un universitario, me parecio una oportunidad en precio y más aún el que fuese el original en ingles.

great book for upper level undergraduates or graduate students. reads like a reference book in that if you know your problem or what you want to find, it will be easy to pick this book up and find it. useful mechanisms and diagrams for all topics discussed.topics range from simple 18-electron rule to nitty gritty of reaction chemistry for transition metals. very useful for those who want to explore the world of inorganic coordination chemistry. many ligand types are discussed and their impact on steric and electronic effects is presented.

There are many books about Coordination chemistry and some of them go beyond (others not) about the usual topics that are published in reference textbooks, but somehow, I liked the information presented in this book, as well as the distribution of the chapters. It was concise, explaining topics where it required. A good acquisition as for my point of view.
