This book is an expanded and updated version of Part III of the authors' previous work, Advanced Structural Inorganic Chemistry (OUP 2008). The original part deals with main-group elements, the rare-earth elements, transition-metal clusters, and supramolecular systems. In this new book, selected material from significant advances in the past decade has been added, with particular emphasis on compounds that exemplify new types of bonds such as sigma-hole, triel bond, tetrel bond, pnictogen bond, chalcogen bond, halogen bond, halogen-halogen interaction, aerogen bond, as well as quintuple and sextuple metal-metal bonds.
Other new topics include actinide compounds, metallophilicity, heterometallic macrocycles and cages, com- and dis-proportionation reactions, hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs), halogen-bonded organic frameworks, halogen-halogen interactions in supramolecular frameworks, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Thomas Chung Wai Mak matriculated at Wah Yan College Hong Kong in 1957 and obtained BSc (1st Class Hon Chem & Phys 1960) and PhD (Chem 1963) degrees from University of British Columbia. After successive stints as NASA Research Associate at University of Pittsburgh and Assistant Professor of Chemistry at University of Western Ontario, he returned home in 1969 to join CUHK, where he is now Emeritus Professor and Wei Lun Research Professor. He was elected as Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2001, and has over 1150 international journal publications recorded in webofknowledge.com with a h-index of 76.
Yu-San Cheung obtained his BSc (1992) and MPhil (1994) degrees from CUHK and his Ph.D. from Iowa State University (1999). He joined the Chemistry Department of CUHK as a Lecturer in 1999 and gained promotion to Senior Lecturer in 2017. He is currently engaged in undergraduate teaching and supervision of practical physical chemistry.
Gong-Du Zhou graduated with a BSc degree from Xichuan University in 1953 and completed his postgraduate studies at Peking University in 1957. He then joined the Chemistry Department of Peking University and taught structural chemistry there until his retirement as a Professor in 1992. His research interests lie in X-ray crystallography and structural chemistry. He has published over 100 research papers, together with over a dozen Chinese chemistry textbooks and reference books.
Ying-Xia Wang obtained her BSc (1985), MSc (1988) and PhD (1997) degrees from Peking University (PKU), and carried out postdoctoral research at Ruhr-University Bochum in 2001-2003. She joined PKU in July 1988 and now is a Professor in the Colleague of Chemistry & Molecular Engineering. She has published more than 100 peer-review papers in studying inorganic solids especially porous materials and complex oxides. In collaboration with her colleagues, she has contributed two new types of zeolite frameworks coded as RRO and PUN among the total number of 246 (up to July 2022).
