Molecular Modeling of Inorganic Compounds - Softcover

This text shows how the method of molecular modelling can be successfully applied to inorganic and co-ordination compounds. In the first part, a general introduction to molecular modelling is given, which should be of use to chemists in all areas. The second part contains a discussion of many carefully selected examples, chosen to illustrate the wide range of applicability and the approaches being taken to dealing with some of the difficulties encountered in modelling metal complexes. In the third part, the reader is instructed in how to apply molecular modelling to a new system. The authors take special care to highlight the possible pitfalls and offer advice on how to avoid them.

Peter Comba Trevor W. Hambley Molecular Modeling of Inorganic Compounds In many branches of chemistry, Molecular Modeling is a well-established and powerful tool when complex structures are investigated. This book shows how the method can be successfully applied to inorganic and coordination compounds. In the first part, a general introduction to Molecular Modeling is given, which will be of use for chemists in all areas. The second part contains a discussion of many carfully selected examples, chosen to illustrate the wide range of applicability and the approaches being taken to dealing with some of the difficulties encountered in modeling metal complexes. In the third part, the reader is instructed how to apply Molecular Modeling to a new system. The authors take special care to highlight the possible pitfalls and offer advice on how to avoid them. Therefore, this book will be invaluable for everyone working in or entering the field.
