Progress in Inorganic Chemistry

PROGRESS in Inorganic Chemistry

The cutting edge of scientific reporting

Nowhere is creative scientific talent busier than in the worldof inorganic chemistry experimentation. Progress in InorganicChemistry continues in its tradition of being the most respectedavenue for exchanging innovative research. This series providesinorganic chemists and materials scientists with a forum forcritical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area ofthe discipline. With contributions from internationally renownedchemists, this latest volume offers an in–depth, far–rangingexamination of the changing face of the field, providing atantalizing 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 ofthe American Chemical Society

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