520 1  "Written in a highly readable, descriptive and accessible 
       style, Introduction to Coordination Chemistry describes 
       properties of coordination compounds such as colour, 
       magnetism and reactivity as well as the logic in their 
       assembly and nomenclature. It is illustrated with many 
       examples of the importance of coordination chemistry in 
       real life, and includes extensive references and a 
       bibliography." "Introduction to Coordination Chemistry is 
       a comprehensive and insightful discussion of one of the 
       primary fields of study in Inorganic Chemistry for both 
       undergraduate and non-specialist readers."--BOOK JACKET.
