Inorganic catalysts are used in crucial industrial processes and the field, to a significant extent, also forms the basis of nanotechnology. Unfortunately, the subject is not a popular one for undergraduates. This book aims to take a step to change this state of affairs by presenting a mechanistic, logical introduction to the subject. Organic teaching places heavy emphasis on reaction mechanisms - ""arrow-pushing"" - and the authors of this book have found that a mecChemistry, InorganicExperimentsChemistry, InorganicLaboratory manualsChemistry, InorganicExperiments.Chemistry, Inorganic540.151Ghosh Abhik878045Berg SteffenMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910139131903321Arrow pushing in inorganic chemistry1960253UNINA
