Inorganic chemistry is the study of all chemical compounds except those containing carbon, which Inorganic Chemistry
is the field of organic chemistry. There is some overlap since both inorganic and organic chemists
traditionally study organometallic compounds. Inorganic chemistry has very important
ramifications for industry. Current research interests in inorganic chemistry include the discovery
of new catalysts, superconductors, and drugs to combat disease. This new volume covers a
Reactions, Structure and Mechanisms
diverse collection of topics in the field, including new methods to detect unlabeled particles,
measurement studies, and more.

IntroductIon
Chemistry is the science that studies atoms and molecules along with their prop-
erties. All matter is composed of atoms and molecules, so chemistry is all encom-
passing and is referred to as the central science because all other scientific fields
use its discoveries. Since the science of chemistry is so broad, it is normally broken
into fields or branches of specialization. The five main branches of chemistry are
analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, and biochemistry. Chemistry is an ex-
perimental science that is constantly being advanced by new discoveries. It is the
intent of this collection to present the reader with a broad spectrum of articles in
the various branches of chemistry that demonstrates key developments in these
rapidly changing fields.
Inorganic chemistry is the study of all chemical compounds except those con-
taining carbon, which is the field of organic chemistry. There is some overlap,
since both inorganic and organic chemists traditionally study organometallic
compounds, such as the cancer fighting drug cisplatin. Inorganic chemistry is
very important in industry. The size of a country’s manufacturing output is tra-
ditionally measured by its production of the inorganic chemical sulfuric acid,
which is the basis for many industrial processes. Current advances in inorganic
chemistry include the discovery of new catalysts, superconductors, and drugs to
combat disease. Much of the green revolution in farming, which allows us to feed
the earth’s population, is based on the inorganic chemist’s ability to produce fertil-
izer from cheap raw materials.
