Metal-Ligand Interactions: Molecular, Nano-, Micro-, and Macro-systems in Complex Environments (Nato Science Series II: (closed))

The emphasis in this book is on problems related to crossing the boundary from molecular systems to nano, macro and micro-scale materials and to the effects of the environment on the properties of the molecular systems. The following fields are discussed:

metal clusters;

inorganic complexes and materials;

surface phenomena;

adsorption and catalysis;

organic and bioorganic systems;

ab initio theory;

density functional theory;

classical and quantum dynamics. £/LIST£ The book presents a broad view of current theoretical, experimental and applied findings in all fields in which the metal-ligand interaction plays a significant role.
