Makoto Fujita The University of Tokyo, Japan | Naohito Ishikawa Osaka University, Japan | Osamu Ishitani Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan | Hiroshi Nakazawa Osaka City University, Japan | Hiroki Oshio The University of Tsukuba, Japan | Toshio Yamaguchi Fukuoka University, Japan | Hideki Masuda The Nagoya Institute of Technology and Aichi Institute of Technology, Japan In collaboration with the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry (JSCC), this series provides a comprehensive pedagogic treatment of all the major coordination chemistry topics students will encounter during their undergraduate and graduate chemistry degrees. These are English translations of proven teaching tools written and delivered by JSCC. Organometallic Chemistry Hiroshi Nakazawa Osaka City University, Japan | Julian Koe International Christian University, Japan Designed for teaching, this book can be used as an introductory text for chemistry undergraduates and will also provide a bridge to more advanced courses. The book is split into two parts, the first acts as a concise introduction to the field, explaining fundamental organometallic chemistry. The latter covers cutting edge theories and applications, suitable for further study. Organometallic complexes are now well known and widely used. In addition, transition metal complexes with main group element other than carbon as a ligating atom are becoming more important. It is thus important to have an overview of transition metal complexes, regardless of the ligand type. This book acts as solid introduction for chemistry students and newcomers in various fields who need to deal with transition metal complexes.
Addressing a challenging concept in undergraduate chemistry, each book in the Chemistry Student Guides series aims for the reader to achieve a ‘light bulb’ moment. Once a concept is understood, the reader will no longer need to use rote memorisation techniques, but instead will have the confidence to see how the learning can be applied across a range of problems, in order to obtain the correct answers. Each book receives student input so it targets exactly where students struggle. Essential student involvement, combined with high editorial engagement from the board, means that each title is closely tuned to audience needs. The books can be used as a supplement or alternative to core textbooks, and will also work well as a revision tool during exam time. Introduction to Kinetics Beth Shallcross University of Manchester, UK | Dudley Shallcross University of Bristol, UK Kinetics, the rate at which a chemical reaction takes place, underpins all areas of chemistry, from drug action in the human body to the formation of the stratospheric ozone hole. In this text we will enhance our understanding of kinetics in both the gas and liquid phase. We will start with the simple concept of collision theory and build up from there. By exploring and understanding the underlying concepts in chemical kinetics, order of reaction, rate constant, steady state approximation, collision and transition state theory, we will be able to tackle a range of problems in differing contexts and see strong similarities in approach. There will be an emphasis on learning by working through examples and by the end of the book we hope that the reader will be confident in their understanding and application of these each concept discussed. We assume that the student has some understanding of pre-university chemistry but we will start by recapping ideas developed about kinetics that are typically derived at this pre-University stage.
