Coordination chemistry is the study of compounds formed between metal ions and other neutral or negatively charged molecules.
This book offers a series of investigative inorganic laboratories approached through systematic coordination chemistry. It not only highlights the key fundamental components of the coordination chemistry field, it also exemplifies the historical development of concepts in the field.
In order to graduate as a chemistry major that fills the requirements of the American Chemical Society, a student needs to take a laboratory course in inorganic chemistry. Most professors who teach and inorganic chemistry laboratory prefer to emphasize coordination chemistry rather than attempting to cover all aspects of inorganic chemistry; because it keeps the students focused on a cohesive part of inorganic chemistry, which has applications in medicine, the environment, molecular biology, organic synthesis, and inorganic materials.
Rosemary A. Marusak is former chair of the Chemistry Department and cochair of the Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Program at Kenyon College. She is completing a degree in veterinary medicine at Michigan State and is a'research associate in the CVM-MSU Equine Foot Laboratory where she conducts cell biology and molecular biology research investigating diseases of the equine foot. Kate Doan, a former assistant professor of chemistry at Kenyon College, is currently pursuing master's degrees in science education and mathematics education at the University of Minnesota. Scott D. Cummings, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Kenyon College.
