They have a huge range of applications in the production of electronic devices, magnets, superconductors, fuel cells, sensors, and more. The cursory treatment of these important metals in most inorganic chemistry textbooks makes a book-length treatment essential. Since 2006, Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry has met this need with a thorough, accessible overview. With in-depth accounts of the lanthanides, actinides, and transactinides, this book is ideal for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in inorganic chemistry or chemical engineering courses. Now updated to reflect groundbreaking recent research, this promises to continue as the essential introductory volume on the subject. Readers of the second edition of Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry will also find: New and expanded subject areas including lanthanide enzymes, single-molecule magnets, luminescence and upconversion, organometallic and coordination chemistry; and many more.   Up-to-date information on the myriad modern applications of f-elementsLists of objectives and learning goals at the start of each chapter Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry is ideal for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in f-element chemistry, inorganic chemistry, or any related field. INORGANIC CHEMISTRY ADVANCED TEXTBOOK This series reflects the pivotal role of modern inorganic and physical chemistry in a whole range of emerging areas, such as materials chemistry, green chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, as well as providing a solid grounding in established areas such as solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, main group chemistry and physical inorganic chemistry.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296312996213,"sku":"9781118873496","price":73.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781118873496_9a6e735b-1ed4-4100-8ecf-ebce38bae193.jpg?v=1786018167"},{"product_id":"9781041110620","title":"Every Molecule Matters","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvery Molecule Matters\u003c\/i\u003e is a successor to the author's earlier \u003ci\u003eEvery Molecule Tells a Story\u003c\/i\u003e, and tells the story of a wide range of molecules.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296324825461,"sku":"9781041110620","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781041110620_18e924a6-e01f-4c6d-9bdc-6d197d71397e.jpg?v=1786017244"},{"product_id":"every-molecule-matters","title":"Every Molecule Tells a Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis latest edition continues the celebration of molecules responsible for the experiences of everyday life.

As before, each chapter combines narrative with accessible science, and familiar names sit alongside surprising ones: the vinegar acid acetic acid and the nail-varnish-remover solvent acetone rub shoulders with cobalt chloride and Zeise's salt, reflecting the author's own background in transition metal and organometallic chemistry.   Many important medicinal molecules are featured, including Acyclovir, Galanthamine, Ibuprofen, Testosterone, Tramadol, and Vinblastine and the other vinca alkaloidsSeveral molecules with distinctive smells and flavours are discussed, including Benzaldehyde, Carvone, Eugenol, the banana esters, and the floral molecules behind jasmine and rose oil, notably ß-DamascenoneUnpleasant odours get their own chapters too, including (E)-2-Butene-1-thiol from skunks, Dimethyl disulphide from the Titan arum, and Incensole acetate, the psychoactive constituent of incenseFour vaping-related molecules are covered, including Acrolein, Diacetyl, Ketene, and 6-MethylnicotineSeveral explosive and hazardous nitro-compounds are included, such as 2,4-Dinitrophenol, 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine, Nitroglycerine, and 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT)Two important polymers are discussed, Kevlar and Poly(tetrafluoroethene) (Teflon)Several molecules important in the environment are included, such as Nitrogen dioxide, Peroxyacetylnitrate, and Deuterium oxide (heavy water)Other notable molecules featured include Ammonia, Strychnine, Nonen-2-al (linked to ageing skin), and 1,8-Cineole, the eucalyptus-oil component associated with koalas and, more recently, memory enhancementThe book is complemented by a detailed bibliography of references from the original literature, providing all the background information one could reasonably expect for each of the fifty molecules detailed throughout the chapters.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57680301228405,"sku":"9781041451495","price":55.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57697045840245,"sku":"9781041451501","price":103.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-simon-cotton.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
