Description

f-Block Chemistry presents the most important underlying themes of f-element chemistry, illustrating these themes with carefully chosen examples.

  • Examples and applications presented throughout help students to see the relevance of the subject to current research and industry, such as concerns about availability of rare earths for applications in clean technology and the debates around the safety of nuclear power and the resulting waste
  • Frequent diagrams, margin notes, and glossary definitions support students in their learning
  • Questions at the end of every chapter and interactive online questions encourage active learning and promote deep understanding
  • Focused introductions designed to give students an in-depth understanding of a diverse range of important topics in modern chemistry
  • Also available as an e-book with functionality, navigation features, and links that offer extra learning support

About the Author(s)

Helen C. Aspinall, Professor of Chemistry, School of Chemistry, University of Liverpool

Helen C. Aspinall is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool. She completed her BSc and PhD at UCL, and then continued her postdoctoral research at Columbia University in New York and then Queen Mary College in London. Her research is largely based around chemistry of lanthanide elements. Her teams have developed new lanthanide-based catalysts and, through collaboration with materials scientists at Liverpool, developed precursors for the growth of thin films of lanthanide (and other metal) oxides.

Reviews

"[The text is] extremely clear and easy to follow. I really like the fact that applications are brought in. Even when they are referred to in later chapters, it gives the learner the possibility to see the 'point' of learning the material and why it is important." - Dr Charlotte Willans, University of Leeds

"Although this is a Primer and meant to be a good summary of the material concerned, I consider it to be excellent for most undergraduate module needs, and I would have no hesitation in adopting this text for my current short course within a module at FHEQ Levels 6 & 7." - Dr Chris Amodio, University of Surrey
