      Theoretical and Physical Chemistry of Triel Bonding: Properties, Mechanisms, and Catalysis explores triel and their compounds, providing a detailed analysis of their molecular and electronic structures, areas often disputed and controversial. It offers a comprehensive description and explanation, emphasizing the unique differences between boron and heavier triel atoms. Key sections cover theoretical foundations, types of interactions, and examples of triel bonds and their characteristics. Additionally, the book highlights triel elements functioning as catalysts and boron compounds in hydrogen storage. Designed for advanced students and researchers in physical or theoretical/computat... chemistry, it will also interest organic and inorganic chemists.Compounds of boron and other triel centres have been the subject of numerous studies for a long time, with their properties well-known and frequently discussed. However, the more detailed characteristics of triel compounds have not been well analyzed in existing research and their molecular and electronic structures have often been the subject of dispute and controversy. Triel bonds as a thematic area have garnered significant interest in recent years and this book provides a much broader description and explanation of their properties and characteristics than has previously been available, discussing aspects which are unique to triel bonds such as the differences between boron and the heavier triel atoms.

Each chapter is written by an international board of authors.Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice. Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles including obituaries are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Serial Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiaw.price@wes...

      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.
