Chemistry of Iron

Iron is a versatile element with many natural and synthetic manifestations. This book provides a comprehensive review of the important chemistry of both its elemental and combined forms. The bulk of the book reviews research in inorganic and organometallic chemistry, and spectroscopic methods for the analysis of iron compounds. Industrial uses of iron and its compounds are covered, and the chemistry underpinning the diverse biochemical and pharmaceutical applications is discussed. This book should be of interest to academic and industrial research and development chemists, materials scientists and biochemists; advanced students of chemistry.
