Progress In Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 55

PROGRESS in Inorganic Chemistry

Nowhere is creative scientific talent busier than in the world of inorganic chemistry experimentation. Progress in Inorganic Chemistry continues in its tradition of being the most respected avenue for exchanging innovative research. This series provides inorganic chemists and materials scientists with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. With contributions from internationally renowned chemists, this latest volume offers an in-depth, far-ranging examination of the changing face of the field, providing a tantalizing glimpse of the emerging state of the science.

"This series is distinguished not only by its scope and breadth, but also by the depth and quality of the reviews."--Journal of the American Chemical Society

"[This series] has won a deservedly honored place on the bookshelf of the chemist attempting to keep afloat in the torrent of original papers on inorganic chemistry."

--Chemistry in Britain
