Modern Inorganic Synthetic Chemistry Second Edition captures in five distinct sections the
latest advancements in inorganic synthetic chemistry providing materials chemists chemical
engineers and materials scientists with a valuable reference source to help them advance their
research efforts and achieve breakthroughs. Section one includes six chapters centering on
synthetic chemistry under specific conditions such as high-temperature low-temperature and
cryogenic hydrothermal and solvothermal high-pressure photochemical and fusion conditions.
Section two focuses on the synthesis and related chemistry problems of highly distinct
categories of inorganic compounds including superheavy elements coordination compounds and
coordination polymers cluster compounds organometallic compounds inorganic polymers and
nonstoichiometric compounds. Section three elaborates on the synthetic chemistry of five
important classes of inorganic functional materials namely ordered porous materials carbon
materials advanced ceramic materials host-guest materials and hierarchically structured
materials. Section four consists of four chapters where the synthesis of functional inorganic
aggregates is discussed giving special attention to the growth of single crystals assembly of
nanomaterials and preparation of amorphous materials and membranes. The new edition's biggest
highlight is Section five where the frontier in inorganic synthetic chemistry is reviewed by
focusing on biomimetic synthesis and rationally designed synthesis.
