Summary

This advanced book on applied molecular orbital theory covers organic, organometallic, inorganic, and solid state chemistry to demonstrate how common orbital situations arise through the whole chemical spectrum. Now in a new updated edition, Orbital Interactions in Chemistry features completely updated material, including: a chapter on new concepts in solid state chemistry, new examples of advances in the field, more detailed information on trends in the periodical table, expanded information on the mechanics of group theory, and a new chapter on metals.
