Annotation -
An advanced course of inorganic systematic chemistry, based mainly on N. N. Greenwood and A. Earnshaw
textbook Chemistry of the Elements. Chemistry of sp elements is discussed rather in detail with the only exception
of organoelement compounds.
The course is started with basic information about elements and periodic table. This is followed with chemistry of IA
and IIA elements. Elements of IIIA group are mention with special focus on boranes and other cluster compounds.
In the part dealing with of carbon, silicon and other IVA elements, special chapters on fulerenes (and
similar structures), siloxanes and silicates are included. The part dealing with chemistry of VA group elements
includes special chapter about chemistry and properties of organophosphorus compounds. In case of VIA group
elements, special focus is put on compounds containing the S–S bond. For compounds of halogens, interest is
aimed on variability and conversion of oxidation states.
