Inorganic Chemistry

Inorganic Chemistry by Alan G. Sharpe and Catherine E. Housecroft is a leading textbook that offers a comprehensive introduction to the world of inorganic chemistry. Intended primarily for students yet equally valuable as a professional reference, this text guides readers through core principles with clarity and precision. The book explores the chemistry of the elements and highlights the significance of inorganic compounds in daily life. With dedicated chapters on catalysis, industrial processes, bioinorganic chemistry, and nanotechnology, the text integrates contemporary developments alongside fundamental theories. A new chapter on experimental techniques adds to its richness, while detailed worked examples and a wide range of exercises solidify understanding through practical application. The full-colour design, enhanced by visual representations of three-dimensional molecular and protein structures, brings the subject to life. Sidebars and topic boxes draw connections with environmental issues, biomedical applications, and industrial practices, ensuring that readers appreciate the broad relevance of inorganic chemistry. A thoughtful structure of revision aids, including summary checklists and definition panels, complements additional reading suggestions that encourage further exploration of the subject. Inorganic Chemistry stands as a vital resource for anyone seeking to grasp the ever-evolving landscape of inorganic science.
