Ligand Field Theory and Its ApplicationsAuthor(s): Brian N. Figgis, Michael A. Hitchman\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-VCH Publishers Inc.,U.S.\nISBN-13: 9780471317760, 978-0471317760\nSynopsis\nA complete, up-to-date treatment of ligand field theory and its applications Ligand Field Theory and Its Applications presents an up-to-date account of ligand field theory, the model currently used to describe the metal-ligand interactions in transition metal compounds, and the way it is used to interpret the physical properties of the complexes. It examines the traditional electrostatic crystal field model, still widely used by physicists, as well as covalent approaches such as the angular overlap model, which interprets the metal ligand interactions using parameters relating directly to chemical behavior.\n Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, this book provides a comparison between ligand field theory and more s.
