The editors of the volume Inorganic Chemistry in Spain have intended to achieve a collection of some chapters featuring the work of Spanish experts in Inorganic Chemistry, each one having specific expertise in some field. Areas that cover theory, classical coordination compounds, new materials, supramolecular assemblies, mechanisms of reactions, magnetism, organometallic complexes, and catalysis are included. In all cases, a special relevance is given to a deep understanding of the behavioural properties of the compounds featured, not only to their mere preparation methodologies, which had been historically related to classical Inorganic Chemistry.

Climate Crisis, Energy Violence: Mapping Fossil Energy’s Enduring Grasp on Our Precarious Future communicates the breadth and scope of fossil fuel infrastructure and its global impact. Comparative research coupled with data and maps accentuates the spatial, temporal, and physical forms of energy violence. Over 25 international case studies track the world’s three primary fossil fuels—first coal, followed by oil, then gas—revealing patterns of loss and damage, as well as industrial tactics of climate delay and deception used to prolong fossil fuel harms. Through analyses of hotspots, sacrifice zones, fast vs slow violence, death prints and fuel life cycles, immediate ecological damage as well as long-term climate impacts are revealed, tied directly to fossil fuel interests. In detailing the broad scope of damage from energy extraction systems, this book provides a compelling argument to move past fossil fuels, directly confronting the climate crisis through energy justice alliances.

Homogeneous Carbonylation and Hydroformylation Reactions, a volume is in the Advances in Homogeneous Catalysis series, is split into two sections. The first covers the homogeneous carbonylation of various chemicals, such as methanol, methyl acetate, esters, and ethers. In addition, some common carbonylation homogeneous processes such as water-gas shift and Fischer–Tropsch reactions are included. The second part describes hydroformylation processes like cobalt and rhodium based reactions. Both parts cover the design of catalytic reactors, industrial applications, economic assessment and environmental impacts, providing detailed discussions of the subject from both a chemistry and engineering perspective.
