BOOK
Absorption spectra and Chemical bonding in complexes
Short Abstract / Description:
This book is a classic monograph on the spectroscopic and theoretical basis of absorption spectra and chemical bonding in coordination complexes, especially transition‑metal compounds. It systematically discusses the energy levels and molecular orbitals involved in complex formation, the characteristics of absorption bands, and the relationship between electronic structure and bonding. The author explores historical developments in bonding theories, molecular orbital and symmetry concepts, interelectronic repulsion, spectrochemical and nephelauxetic series, electron transfer spectra, and determination of complex species in solution. Extensive tables of absorption spectra and discussions of heavy‑metal chemistry make this a foundational reference for inorganic and physical chemists studying ligand field effects and transition‑metal spectroscopy
