Greetings,
I whould like some suggestions regarding exceptional and comprehensive books on the following topics:
- Molecular symmetry and group theory applied to electronic and vibrational spectroscopy;
- Molecular orbital theory applied to coordination compounds;
- Crystal field theory;
- atomic structure and quantum chemistry;
- organometallics
- Acids and bases applied to coordination compounds.
Best regards.
Dear Lucas Almir Cavalcante Minho ,
If it can help you, I have some books title that could be of interest for you:
• Molecular symmetry and group theory applied to electronic and vibrational spectroscopy: Chemical Applications of Group Theory 3rd edition by F. Albert Cotton which is very complete with Chapter 10 "Molecular vibration". I could suggest you also a french book (unfortunately!) which is "La théorie des groupes en chimie" by François Volatron and Patrick Chaquin with Chapter 6, 7 and 8 entirely dedicated to IR, Raman, UV-Visible spectroscopy and Jahn-Teller Effect. There is also and excellent book on the subject: "Symmetry and Spectroscopy - an Introduction to Vibrational and Electronic Spectroscopy" by Daniel C. Harris and Michael D. Bertolucci.
• Molecular orbital theory applied to coordination compounds: Again the book Chemical Applications of Group Theory 3rd edition by F. Albert Cotton with the Chapter 8: "Molecular orbital theory for inorganic and organometallic compounds". Another excellent book (unfortunately...) is "Eléments de chimie quantique à l'usage des chimistes" by Jean-Louis Rivail.
• Crystal field theory: again, "Eléments de chimie quantique à l'usage des chimistes" is really good... But you have also the book "Chemical Structure and Reactivity" by James Keeler and Peter Wothers.
• atomic structure and quantum chemistry: there are plenty of books ! I really loved "Ideas of Quantum Chemistry" by Lucjan Piela, and I strongly suggest you to have a look on the book "Quantum Chemistry and Molecular Interactions" by Andrew Cooksy which is, in my opinion, a must-have when starting to learn theory. A good bird's overview is given by the book "Molecular Modelling, principles and applications" by Andrew R. Leach.
• Organometallics: I have to majr books I love a lot. The first is "Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis" by Didier Astruc and the second one is "Organometallics and Catalysis" by Manfred Bochmann.
Hope I could help you!
Dear Lucas Almir Cavalcante Minho I think that the recommendations provided by Corentin Lefebvre are already very useful and comprehensive. In addition, I suggest that you also check the "Publications" section of RG for lectures and courses on certain topics of interest. Just search for the term "advanced inorganic chemistry". Then click on "Publications" and select from the list in the upper left corner either "Presentations" or "Books". You will find that many useful lectures, courses and books have been posted as public full texts which can be freely downloaded as pdf file.
See e.g. for presentations: https://www.researchgate.net/search.Search.html?type=publication&query=Advanced%20Inorganic%20chemistry&subfilter[publicationType]=presentation
Good luck with your work!
Thank you very much Corentin Lefebvre for the suggestions, i will surely check these references. Thank you Frank T. Edelmann i will check lectures about these subjects.
You can refer the book Advanced Inorganic chemistry by Cotton and Wilkinson and another book by Day and Selbin.
