Industrial applications of Metal complexes have gained significant importance especially in the area of Catalysis in the last three decades. Scope for further development of such applications is extensive as several biological processes in living cells involve metal complexes. Coordination Chemistry is a subject uniquely involving application of Quantum Mechanics, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Catalysis, Biology and Industrial Chemistry. This book has been written keeping these important aspects of the subject in mind.
