Metal oxides form a really interesting world which shows very wide
ranges of various properties, making it important for a variety of industrial
applications. These properties include electrical, magnetic, optical,
optoelectronic, thermal, electrochemical, and catalytic characteristics, which
are analyzed in detail in this book. The author, Speranta Tanasescu, renders an
insightful overview of both stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric oxides based on
how their structures and compositions influence their behaviors and
interactions. Through the book, it is discussed how the conditions of processing
actually affect the formation and properties of metal oxides, casting light on
the role they play in energy conversion, electronics, and material science. This
work provides in an overall way comprehensive understanding of metal oxide
materials, very essential for researchers and engineers who work in the fields
of material science, nanotechnology, and other cutting-edge areas.
This is a lengthy PDF by Neil G. Connelly, Richard M.
Hartshorn, Ture Damhus, and Alan T. Hutton that delves very deeply into the
rules and standards governing the naming of inorganic compounds. The history and
development of chemical nomenclature form part of this document and outline the
functions and methods used to name elements, compounds, and complex ions. The
text provides detailed guidelines on nomenclature of acids, bases, salts, and
coordination complexes, including special cases such as organometallic compounds
and solid-state materials. This text is highly recommended for chemists,
educators, and students in general who aim for clear and precise systematic
naming conventions as a basis of inorganic chemistry.
