Inorganic chemistry

---

The rapid development of inorganic chemistry makes ever more challenging the task of
providing a textbook that is contemporary and meets the needs of those who use it. We
appreciate the constructive suggestions provided by students, faculty, and reviewers, and
have adopted much of this advice, keeping in mind the constraints imposed by space and
the scope of the book. The main emphasis in preparing this edition has been to bring it up
to date while providing clarity and a variety of helpful features.

• New and expanded discussions have been incorporated in many chapters to reflect
topics of contemporary interest: for example, frustrated Lewis pairs (Chapter 6),
IUPAC guidelines defining hydrogen bonds (Chapter 6), multiple bonding
between Group 13 elements (Chapter 8), graphyne (Chapter 8), developments in
noble gas chemistry (Chapter 8), metal–organic frameworks (Chapter 9), pincer
ligands (Chapter 9), the magnetochemical series (Chapter 10), photosensitizers
(Chapter 11), polyyne and polyene carbon “wires” (Chapter 13), percent buried
volume of ligands (Chapter 14), and introductions to C—H bond activation,
Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling, and sigma-bond metathesis (Chapter 14).
• To better represent the shapes of molecular orbitals, we are providing new images,
generated by molecular modeling software, for most of the orbitals presented in
Chapter 5.
• In a similar vein, to more accurately depict the shapes of many molecules, we
have generated new images using CIF files from available crystal structure
determinations. We hope that readers will find these images a significant
improvement over the line drawings and ORTEP images that they replace.
• The discussion of electronegativity in connection with the VSEPR model in
Chapter 3 has been expanded, and group electronegativity has been added.
• In response to users’ requests, the projection operator approach has been
added in the context of molecular orbitals of nonlinear molecules in Chapter 5.
Chapter 8 includes more elaboration on Frost diagrams, and additional magnetic
susceptibility content has been incorporated into Chapter 10.
• Chapter 6 has been reorganized to highlight contemporary aspects of acid–base
chemistry and to include a broader range of measures of relative strengths of acids
and bases.
• In Chapter 9 numerous new images have been added to provide more contemporary
examples of the geometries of coordination complexes and coordination
frameworks.
• The Covalent Bond Classification Method and MLX plots are now introduced in
Chapter 13.
• Approximately 15% of end-of-chapter problems are new, with most based on the
recent inorganic literature. To further encourage in-depth engagement with the
literature, more problems involving extracting and interpreting information from
the literature have been included. The total number of problems is more than 580.
• The values of physical constants inside the back cover have been revised to use
the most recent values cited on the NIST Web site.
• This edition expands the use of color to better highlight the art and chemistry
within the text and to improve readability of tables.

The need to add new material to keep up with the pace of developments in inorganic chemistry
while maintaining a reasonable length is challenging, and diffi cult content decisions must
be made. To permit space for increased narrative content while not signifi cantly expanding
the length of the book, Appendix B, containing tables of numerical data, has been placed
online for free access.
