Asim K Das BSc (1st Class 1st, CU), MSc (Gold Medalist, CU), PhD (CU), DSc (Visva Bharati) is currently Professor, Department of Chemistry, Visva Bharati University, Santiniketan, West Bengal. He has over 30 years of teaching experience at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He passed both BSc (Hons in Chemistry) in 1981 and MSc (specialization in Inorganic Chemistry) in 1983, standing First Class First, from the University of Calcutta. He received his PhD degree from the same university under the supervision of Prof D Banerjea, the then Sir Rashbehari Ghose Professor of Chemistry. He received his DSc degree from Visva Bharati in 2002. Dr Das has published more than 80 research papers in the field of thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of metal complexes in reputed national and international journals. He has written the books, Bioinorganic Chemistry; Environmental Chemistry with Green Chemistry; Biophysical, Bioorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry; An Introduction to Nanomaterials and Nanoscience and An Introduction to Supramolecular Chemistry.

Volumes 4-7, which are in continuation of the existing Volumes 1-3 of the book, cover the structure and bonding (VBT, eFT, and MOT), stability and reactivity, spectral and magnetic properties of metal complexes in depth. Kinetics and reaction mechanisms of ligand substitution, isomerisation, electron transfer and photochemical reactions have been included. Topics of magnetochemistry and organometallic chemistry have been covered. Applications of different spectroscopic techniques (Raman, IR, NMR, ESR, Mossbauer, NQR, Mass Spectrometry, UV-VIS, UV-PES, etc.), theory of errors and statistical treatment of data have been discussed to widen the utility of the series.</span><br></p>
