At the heart of coordination chemistry lies the coordinate bond, in its simplest sense arising from donation of a pair of electrons from a donor atom to an empty orbital on a central metalloid or metal. Metals overwhelmingly exist as their cations, but these are rarely met ‘naked’ – they are clothed in an array of other atoms, molecules or ions that involve coordinate covalent bonds (hence the name coordination compounds). These metal ion complexes are ubiquitous in nature, and are cent...

A dramatic media update for a classic text.

This edition of Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function maintains its defining framework based on the concept that an organic molecule’s structure will determine its function, while strengthening its focus on helping students understand reactions, mechanisms, and synthetic analysis and their practical applications.

And now, this edition’s media content is available in Macmillan Learning’s breakthrough course platform, Achieve, which houses a...

Shows how science is done with unsurpassed clarity.

Exploring Chemical Analysis provides an ideal one-term introduction to analytical chemistry for students whose primary interests generally lie outside of chemistry. Combining coverage of all major analytical topics with effective problem-solving methods, it teaches students how to understand analytical results and how to use quantitative manipulations, preparing them for the problems they will encounter in fields from biology to chemistry to...

This book introduces readers to the basic principles of bioinformatics and the practical application and utilization of computational tools, without assuming any prior background in programming or informatics.
