Preface

textbook of inorganic chemistry.

This book is both a review of current research and an undergraduate textbook for inorganic chemistry at university level. In university undergraduate lectures, basic concepts are main‐ ly explained and added examples of frontier research are optional. However, in many cases, frontier research is more interesting for students than basic studies. This book is aimed at undergraduates in inorganic chemistry. Each author introduces or reviews "frontier re‐ search topics" of inorganic coordination chemistry. Their application examples are indicated with "basic concepts" as found in textbooks on this subject. The chapters' topics are struc‐ tured as "frontier research topics" but also "related items" or concept in a typical standard
