Description
Book SynopsisAs in the study of transition metal complexes in solution, molecular spectroscopic methods -- principally the infrared, ultraviolet/visible and electron spin resonance spectroscopies -- have played key roles in establishing the concepts of coordination chemistry occurring at the surfaces of solids.
Trade Review"…this comprehensive book is truly indispensable as a reference text for researchers engaged in the surface chemistry of oxide surfaces." (
Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 126)
