It begins with a focus on the shapes (geometry) dictating intermolecular forces of attractions, leading to reactivity between molecules of different shapes, and provides coverage from the foundations of chemical bonds and stereochemistry to advanced topics, such as organometallic, bioinorganic, carboranes, and environmental chemistry. 606 $aChemistry, Inorganic 615 0$aChemistry, Inorganic. 676 $a546 700 $aHosmane$b Narayan S.$0858251 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583076003321 996 $aAdvanced inorganic chemistry$91916090 997 $aUNINA
