The book has been written, keeping the postgraduate students of Indian universities in mind. It begins with the basic terminology of coordination chemistry, isomerism and variety of coordination numbers encountered on complexes. The details of symmetry and group theory are then given. The chapter in bonding starts from valence bond theory, crystal field theory and lastly molecular orbital theory. The magnetic and electronic spectral properties are given in detail in separate chapters. The reaction mechanism and the bio-inorganic chemistry is given in last.
