A clear introduction to modern inorganic chemistry. Covering both theory and descriptive chemistry, the text begins with atomic structure, bonding, and stereochemistry and then treats inorganic solids, acids and bases, and bioinorganic chemistry. This second edition includes optional sections on group theory, very thorough discussions of inorganic solids, and expanded material on subjects such as the mechanisms of reactions and bioinorganic chemistry. Presents numerous figures to encourage ``model-thinking'' and provides solved examples.

An updated, practical guide to bioinorganic chemistry Bioinorganic Chemistry: A Short Course, Second Edition provides the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry and biochemistry relevant to understanding bioinorganic topics. Rather than striving to provide a broad overview of the whole, rapidly expanding field, this resource provides essential background material, followed by detailed information on selected topics. The goal is to give readers the background, tools, and skills to research and study bioinorganic topics of special interest to them. This extensively updated premier reference and text: Presents review chapters on the essentials of inorganic chemistry and biochemistry Includes up-to-date information on instrumental and analytical techniques and computer-aided modeling and visualization programs Familiarizes readers with the primary literature sources and online resources Includes detailed coverage of Group 1 and 2 metal ions, concentrating on biological molecules that feature sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium ions Describes proteins and enzymes with iron-containing porphyrin ligand systems-myoglobin, hemoglobin, and the ubiquitous cytochrome metalloenzymes-and the non-heme, iron-containing proteins aconitase and methane monooxygenase Appropriate for one-semester bioinorganic chemistry courses for chemistry, biochemistry, and biology majors, this text is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students. It is also a valuable reference for practitioners and researchers who need a general introduction to bioinorganic chemistry, as well as chemists who want an accessible desk reference.

Destined to set the standard, this book meets the need for a didactic textbook focusing on the role of model systems in bioinorganic chemistry. The first part features concepts in bioinorganic chemistry such as electron transfer, medicinal inorganic chemistry, bioorganometallics and metal DNA complexes, while the second part presents inorganic model chemistry on metallo-enzymes, organized by metal ion. Experts in the pertinent fields provide a didactically well-organized background on relevant biological systems, as well as on their structural, functional and spectroscopic properties. All chapters are similarly structured, each one beginning with a timeline featuring the most important historical facts on the subject, followed by a table of the most significant enzymes. The authors also summarize key developments and open questions within the respective model systems. This book is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry, biochemistry, life science and related fields.

Market_Desc: · Primary and one semester Inorganic course taught at Junior and Senior level Special Features: · Concepts/models as organizing principle· New definitive chapters on group theory · Significant coverage of solid state· McDaniel and Douglas are well-known researchers About The Book: This text has a physical orientation, but thorough treatment of inorganic solids. It has a current/fresh approach to mechanisms of reactions. Bonding is offered on 2 levels: 1- using group theory, 2- more qualitative approach. It also covers bio-inorganic chemistry.
