As 2019 has been declared the International Year of the Periodic
Table, it is appropriate that Structure and Bonding marks this
anniversary with two special volumes. In 1869 Dmitri Ivanovitch
Mendeleev first proposed his periodic table of the elements. He is
given the major credit for proposing the conceptual framework used
by chemists to systematically inter-relate the chemical properties
of the elements. However, the concept of periodicity evolved in
distinct stages and was the culmination of work by other chemists
over several decades. For example, Newland's Law of Octaves marked
an important step in the evolution of the periodic system since it
represented the first clear statement that the properties of the
elements repeated after intervals of 8. Mendeleev's predictions
demonstrated in an impressive manner how the periodic table could
be used to predict the occurrence and properties of new elements.
Not all of his many predictions proved to be valid, but the
discovery of scandium, gallium and germanium represented sufficient
vindication of its utility and they cemented its enduring
influence. Mendeleev's periodic table was based on the atomic
weights of the elements and it was another 50 years before Moseley
established that it was the atomic number of the elements, that was
the fundamental parameter and this led to the prediction of further
elements. Some have suggested that the periodic table is one of the
most fruitful ideas in modern science and that it is comparable to
Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, proposed at
approximately the same time. There is no doubt that the periodic
table occupies a central position in chemistry. In its modern form
it is reproduced in most undergraduate inorganic textbooks and is
present in almost every chemistry lecture room and classroom. This
second volume provides chemists with an overview of the important
role played by the Periodic Table in advancing our knowledge of
solid state and bioinorganic chemistry. It also illustrates how it
has been used to fine-tune the properties of compounds which have
found commercial applications in catalysis, electronics, ceramics
and in medicinal chemistry.
