Incorporates the many new chemical developments, particularly the more recent theoretical advances in the interpretation of bonding and reactivity in inorganic compounds. Provides a reasonable achievement for advanced students, as it encompasses the chemistry of all chemical elements and their compounds, including interpretative discussion in light of the advances in structural chemistry, general valence theory, and ligand field theory. It covers the periodic table systematically, and special chapters treat metal atom clusters, reaction mechanisms, metal carbonyls, and bio-inorganic chemistry. Since the Fourth Edition, descriptive chemistry has been increased and theoretical material decreased where necessary.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as expected,
By Stefano Libri (Pisa Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition (Hardcover)
This was one of the best book for inorganic chemistry, but this edition is very different from the previous ones. Many useful chapters have been done away with; they have been replaced with chapters rather poor, especially those about catalysis. I advise the fifth edition, which is much better, even if it's quite old: the updates of new edition don't offset its flaws.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By Robert Jones (Collinswood, SA Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition (Hardcover)
The 5th edition of this book had been compulsory reading during my undergraduate inorganic chemistry courses: it was the inorganic chemistry bible. This edition fails to reach the high standard of its predecessor. In fact, it isn't even a good advanced inorganic chemistry text. Much of the really useful stuff that forms the basis of an understanding of inorganic chemistry has been omitted in favour of niche topics. The book would be better called 'Advances in Inorganic Chemistry' or 'Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry'.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A real advance in inorganic chemistry!,
By
This review is from: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (Hardcover)
The first editions of this book made a real revolution in inorganic chemistry. The approach in this book has not realy changed during the years but I still think it is a must-have book. It is easy to read with a lot of data, structures and tables. In my oppinion it should be combined with Greenwood's "Chemistry of the elements" and Douglas' et al. "Concepts and models of inorganic chemistry".
