Water-Stable Metal-Organic Frameworks (WSMOFs) presents water-stable metal-organic frameworks for mitigating environmental pollutants, i.e. sensing and degradation/removal applications to protect the ecological system, both environmental and aquatic life, from various types of toxic pollutants released from industries. The pressing challenge of extracting common pollutants, including heavy metal ions, anions, oil, and radionuclides from water sources is a critical issue due to the widespread problem of environmental contamination. Various approaches have been explored for this purpose, such as sorbents, chemical precipitation, and traditional membrane separation. However, these methods often suffer from inadequate selectivity and low pollutant uptake.Developing water-stable MOFs is the key to advancing effective water purification techniques, but the primary challenge lies in crafting MOF structures that can maintain their stability when exposed to water.

Fundamental Coordination Ability of s-Block Metal Ions: New Aspects and Its Role in Solution Reactions delves into the intricate reaction chemistry and coordination chemistry of s-block metal ions in various solutions. This book explores the crystallization and subsequent re-dissolution of s-block metal compounds from solutions, as well as their structures and the biochemistry of these ions in living organisms. By examining the complex formation of s-block metal ions with crown ethers, the book highlights the significant advancements in host-guest chemistry involving s-block metal ions. Additionally, it discusses recent synthesization of lighter metal coordination polymers, and more.The complex formation of s-block metal ions with crown ethers was discovered by C. J. Pedersen in 1967, and since then, host-guest chemistry of s-block metal ions have been highly developed. In recent years, many lighter metal coordination polymers have been synthesized actively. In this book, some “salt effects” or abnormal phenomena are accounted for in terms of coordination interaction with s-block metal ions in solution. The mechanism of enhanced oxidation ability of dilute nitric acid is discussed and the dissolution of pure gold in seawater with nitric acid is demonstrated. This important reference book will be useful to inorganic chemists, specifically those working in solution chemistry, main group metal chemistry and supramolecular chemistry, both in industry and academia.

Inorganic Chemistry Fourth Edition provides essential information for students of inorganic chemistry and is updated throughout. The presentation of topics is made with an effort to be clear and concise so that the book is portable and user friendly. The text emphasizes fundamental principles—including molecular structure, acid-base chemistry, coordination chemistry, ligand field theory, and solid state chemistry. It is organized into five major themes (structure, condensed phases, solution chemistry, main group and coordination compounds) with several chapters in each. There is a logical progression from atomic structure to molecular structure to properties of substances based on molecular structures, to behavior of solids, etc.The textbook contains a balance of topics in theoretical and descriptive chemistry. For example, the hard-soft interaction principle is used to explain hydrogen bond strengths, strengths of acids and bases, stability of coordination compounds, etc. Discussion of elements begins with survey chapters focused on the main groups, while later chapters cover the elements in greater detail. Each chapter opens with narrative introductions and includes figures, tables, and end-of-chapter problem sets.This new edition features updates throughout, with an emphasis on bioinorganic chemistry and a new chapter on nanostructures and graphene.

Electronic Energy Levels of Transition Metal Complexes guides the reader to understand how to comprehensively calculate (predict, reconstruct) electronic energy levels of separation between 0,1 to 30,000 cm-1 in d1 to d9 transition metal complexes. The applied apparatus helps to understand the individual effect of the interelectron repulsion, crystal field strength, spin-orbit coupling and the magnetic field for any symmetry. Symmetry labels can be attached to energy levels (eigenvalues) by analyzing the eigenvectors of the model Hamiltonian either at the level of crystal-field terms or crystal-field multiplets.This book includes basic formulae for matrix elements of the model Hamiltonian and a huge number of results presented as graphs identifying the order of the energy levels and their labelling using the group (double group) irreducible representations. Utilization of the generated energy levels in electron spectroscopy, electron spin resonance and magnetochemistry is presented. Massive modelling was done using the desktop computers.
