The series Structure and Bonding publishes critical reviews on
topics of research concerned with chemical structure and bonding.
The scope of the series spans the entire Periodic Table and
addresses structure and bonding issues associated with all of the
elements. It also focuses attention on new and developing areas of
modern structural and theoretical chemistry such as nanostructures,
molecular electronics, designed molecular solids, surfaces, metal
clusters and supramolecular structures. Physical and spectroscopic
techniques used to determine, examine and model structures fall
within the purview of Structure and Bonding to the extent that the
focus is on the scientific results obtained and not on specialist
information concerning the techniques themselves. Issues associated
with the development of bonding models and generalizations that
illuminate the reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes
are also relevant.
The individual volumes in the series are thematic. The goal of
each volume is to give the reader, whether at a university or in
industry, a comprehensive overview of an area where new insights
are emerging that are of interest to a larger scientific audience.
Thus each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of
that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a
whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years
should be presented using selected examples to illustrate the
principles discussed. A description of the physical basis of the
experimental techniques that have been used to provide the primary
data may also be appropriate, if it has not been covered in detail
elsewhere. The coverage need not be exhaustive in data, but should
rather be conceptual, concentrating on the new principles being
developed that will allow the reader, who is not a specialist in
the area covered, to understand the data presented. Discussion of
possible future research directions in the area is welcomed. Review
articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume
editors.
