Short description
Reviews of the Fifth edition:

"This edition is a treat, and no self-respecting inorganic chemist should deny him or herself...it is an invaluable guide"-Nature

"[The authors] have continued their comprehensive and authoritative coverage of modern inorganic chemistry."-Polyhedron

This sixth edition of an indispensable work in the field incorporates many new chemical developments, particularly recent theoretical advances in the interpretation of bonding and reactivity in inorganic compounds. As in previous editions, the chapters devoted to the elements form the core of the book and are covered in sequence of the periodic table.
