Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry III, a ten-volume reference work, is intended to cover fundamental principles, recent discoveries, and significant applications of elements and their compounds. Authored by renowned experts in the field and edited by a world-class editorial board, each chapter provides a thorough and in-depth overview of the topic covered, featuring resources which will be useful to students, researchers, faculty as well as those in the industry.
Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry III
focuses on main group chemistry, biological inorganic chemistry, solid state and materials chemistry, catalysis, and new developments in electrochemistry and photochemistry, as well as NMR and diffraction methods for studying inorganic compounds.The work expands on our 2013 work Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry II while also adding new volumes on cutting-edge research areas and techniques for studying inorganic compounds. Researchers seeking background information on a specific problem involving the synthesis of inorganic compounds, as well as applications for numerous elements from the periodic table, and their compounds, will be able to rely on and refer to this authoritative scientific resource time and again.
This new work complements Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry III (2021) and Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry IV (2022), constituting a formidable trio of reference resources covering the whole of modern inorganic chemistry.
- Presents a comprehensive review of fundamental principles, recent discoveries and important applications of elements and their compounds, offering readers a ‘one-stop’, comprehensive resource for access to a wealth of information to fully support their research and activities in this area
- Provides an excellent overview of the field that is an ideal resource for researchers and professionals
- Includes interdisciplinary chapters written by experts from around the world in the fields of chemistry, crystallography, materials science, optics, physics, and biochemistry
Mid-career / senior researchers and teachers (faculty members, PDFs and graduate students) in chemistry, crystallography, materials science, optics, physics, and biochemistry who need further background or answers to specific problems on the metallic elements, their compounds, or applications. Faculty members, PDFs and graduate students from other areas of chemistry, notably; organic chemistry and computational chemistry, as well as materials scientists from industry. Senior undergraduates studying Inorganic Chemistry are also another secondary audience

Kenneth R. Poeppelmeier
Kenneth Poeppelmeier studied chemistry at the University of Missouri-Columbia from 1967 to 1971 (B.S. Chemistry). From 1971 to 1974, he was an Instructor in Chemistry at Samoa College in Western Samoa as a United States Peace Corps volunteer. He joined the research group of John Corbett at Iowa State University after leaving the Peace Corps and received his Ph.D. in 1978. He then joined the research staff of Exxon Research and Engineering Company, Corporate Research Science Laboratory, where he worked with John Longo and Allan Jacobson on the synthesis and characterization of mixed metal oxides and their application in heterogeneous catalysis. He joined the chemistry faculty of Northwestern University in 1984 where he is now the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University and a NAISE Fellow joint with Northwestern University and the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division-Argonne National Laboratory. He has published over 500 papers (1971-2023) and supervised over 200 undergraduates, PhD students, postdocs and visiting scholars. Leadership positions held include Director, Center for Catalysis and Surface Science Northwestern University, Associate Division Director for Science, Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division-Argonne National Laboratory, president of the Chicago Area Catalysis Club, Associate Director- NSF Science and Technology Center for Superconductivity, and Chairman of the ACS Solid State Subdivision of the Division of Inorganic Chemistry. His major research activities have been in Solid State and Inorganic Materials Chemistry focusing on heterogeneous catalysis, solid state chemistry and materials chemistry. His awards include National Science Council of Taiwan Lecturer (1991) , Dow Professor of Chemistry (1992–1994), AAAS Fellow, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1993), JSPS Fellow Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (1997) , Natural Science Foundation of China Lecturer (1999), National Science Foundation Creativity Extension Award (2000 and 2022), Institut Universitaire de France Professor (2003), Chemistry Week in China Lecturer (2004), Lecturer in Solid State Chemistry, China (2005), Visitantes Distinguidos, Universid Complutenses Madrid (2008), Visiting Professor, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2011), twenty years of Service and Dedication Award to Inorganic Chemistry (2013) , Elected foreign member of Spanish National Academy: Real Academia de Ciencia, Exactas, Fisicas y Naturales (2017) , Elected Honorary Member of the Royal Society of Chemistry of Spain (RSEQ) (2018), and the TianShan Award Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China (2021). He has organized numerous symposia and conferences including the Chicago Great Lakes Regional ACS Symposium on Synthesis and Processing of Advanced Solid State Materials (1987), the New Orleans National ACS Symposium on Solid State Chemistry of Heterogeneous Oxide Catalysis, Including New Microporous Solids (1987), the Gordon Conference on Solid State Chemistry (1994) and the First European Gordon Conference on Solid State Chemistry (1995), the Spring Materials Research Society Symposium on Environmental Chemistry (1995), the Advisory Committee of Intense Pulsed Neutron Source (IPNS) Program (1996–1998), the Spring Materials Research Society Symposium on Perovskite Materials (2003), the 4th International Conference on Inorganic Materials-University of Antwerp (2004), and the Philadelphia National ACS Symposium on Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Oxidation Catalysis (2004). He has served on numerous Editorial Boards including Chemistry of Material, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Solid State Sciences, Solid State Chemistry, and Science China Materials.
