Synthesis and Techniques in Inorganic Chemistry

Inorganic chemistry is concerned with the procedures involved in the synthesis and behavior of inorganic compounds such as metals, minerals and organometallic compounds. In practice, there may be more than one way to synthesize an inorganic compound. However, there is no strict criterion for determining the suitability of a synthesis procedure. The only way to determine that a synthesis is suitable is to estimate whether a new or modified experimental procedure is applicable to a variety of related compounds, and ensuring that at least one of those compounds is critically important for industrial use or for research. Research in this field aims at developing innovative synthesis procedures for compounds that are not readily available on a commercial basis at reasonable prices. This book will provide a detailed account of the techniques that are used in inorganic chemistry for synthesizing inorganic compounds. It is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide an in-depth knowledge about inorganic compound synthesis techniques. The book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of research in inorganic chemistry.
