[交流] Inorganic Chemistry (2nd Edition)

Inorganic Chemistry (2nd Edition)
By Catherine Housecroft, Alan G. Sharpe

Publisher: Prentice Hall
Number Of Pages: 992

This book's fresh writing style—combined with up-to-date coverage, numerous examples, worked exercises, and real-life applications—provides a critical introduction to modern inorganic chemistry. It offers superior coverage of all key areas, including descriptive chemistry, MO theory, bonding, and physical inorganic chemistry. Chapter topics are presented in logical order and include: basic concepts; nuclear properties; an introduction to molecular symmetry; bonding in polyatomic molecules; structures and energetics of metallic and ionic solids; acids, bases, and ions in aqueous solution; reduction and oxidation; non-aqueous media; and hydrogen. Four special topic chapters, chosen for their currency and interest, conclude the book. For researchers seeking the latest information in the field of inorganic chemistry.

Summary: Great intro and reference
Rating: 5

Great introduction to inorganic chemistry.
The first chapters introduce the theoretical concepts which will later be useful to describe the chemistry of the elements, and do so in a fool-proof way. The discussion is obviously not that detailed, but gets to the point.

The best part of this book is however the one regarding the elements and their chemical behavior. Extremely educative the first time you see it, still very useful later on as a reference. The numerous references to how the elements find use in today's industrial world are a great source of information.
The two chapters on catalysis and solid state chemistry are also valuable, albeit concise.
The only book which may rival this one is Greenwood's, which isn't as good as this one as a learning text though.

Weird the price is so high at amazon... i got it for half the price... new...

Summary: LGO's are not my friends!

Well, just finished up Inorganic chemistry and I found this book to be somwhat helpful. The first few chapters of this book are not too bad and it does a decent job with explaining introductory molecular symmetry (point group, I.R. Spectroscopy....) My issue with this book was it's explanation of bonding in polyatomic molecules. It's ligand group approach was so convoluted I had to use my PCHM book (McQuarrie) to paint somewhat of a clearer picture. Also, the chapter on d-block chemistry could use more math to explain crystal field theory. Anyhow, I only used two different books so I cannot comment on what book to use and/or not to use. Hopes this helps....Oh yeah, Honk if you passed PCHM!

Summary: Not Detailed Enough
Rating: 2

I realize that this is supposed to be an introductory book, however it does not provide enough detail to be very useful in my 2nd year inorganic chem class. I am extremely disappointed by this since the book costs so much money. I wonder how much more it would cost if it was hardcover.

It does have a good layout and bright pictures and colors though. I guess this is supposed to stimulate the brain or something.

Summary: First Class
Rating: 5

I saw this browsing through a bookstore. First class all the way. I use it all the time as a professional research chemist. Really well organized.

Summary: My one regret in life is losing this book...
Rating: 5

Excellent text and I have been trying to find a copy on it ever since I lost mine... Presents quite a bit of the subject in a very well thought out and organized way... If you ever get the chance, then sit down and take a good look. Serves as a great companion to Cotton and Wilk. "Basic Inorganic Chemistry" or those books...
