The Heavier D-Block Metals: Aspects of Inorganic and Coordination ChemistryThis primer addresses the chemistry of the second and third row d block metals and assumes a knowledge of the chemistry of the first row metals. Beginning with a summary of basic properties, the book covers periodic trends, aqueous solution chemistry and redox properties, the range of coordination numbers shown by second and third row metals, electronic spectra and magnetic properties, metal metal bonding, triple and quadruple bonds, bridging ligands,
