Chemistry of the First Row Transition Metals

The transition metals titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel and copper are essential for many life-processes, are at the heart of important industrial processes, and are used in everyday life. Their properties are dependent on the electronic structure of the metals. The connection between this and the chemical behaviour of these metals is described in this book.
The reactivity and structural properties of first row transition metals and their compounds depend on the electronic configuration of the d electrons of the metal. The book, which is intended for students who have had at least one year of inorganic chemistry, describes the most significant structures, reactions, and other important properties of co-ordination, organometallic and solid state compounds and also sketches the role of first row transition metals in biology. This is a largely factual text designed to build on or to link chemistry described in earlier Primers and the emphasis is on facts, but with explanations based on simple theory.
