Endlich ein Fachbuch, das die Theorie, Methoden und die verschiedenen Arten von Metall-Ionen-Komplexen in Wasser (Hydrolyse) umfassend behandelt. Geschrieben wurde dieses Referenzwerk von einem Kernchemiker aus dem Hochschulbereich und einem Geochemiker aus der Industrie.
Behandelt werden Kationen- und Anionen-Komplexe sowie die Metall-Ionen-Hydrolyse, zu der zunächst Hintergrundinformationen geliefert werden, bevor eine Beschreibung der Dissoziation von Wasser, aller verschiedenen Hydrolysekomplexe und Verbindungen von Metall und Wasser folgt.
Ein Muss für Wissenschaftler im universitären Umfeld und in der Industrie, die sich mit diesem interdisziplinären Thema beschäftigen.

Filling the need for a comprehensive treatment that covers the theory, methods and the different types of metal ion complexes with water (hydrolysis), this handbook and ready reference is authored by a nuclear chemist from academia and an industrial geochemist.
The book includes both cation and anion complexes, and approaches the topic of metal ion hydrolysis by first covering the background, before proceeding with an overview of the dissociation of water and then all different metal-water hydrolysis complexes and compounds.

A must-have for scientists in academia and industry working on this interdisciplinary topic.
