Magnetochemistry

Magnetochemistry provides an introduction to this area of study, which is the study of the magnetic properties of materials. Magnetochemistry is of central importance in the study of transition-metal complexes, providing information on the chemical bonding in these molecules. This text provides an introductory survey of the magnetic properties of chemical compounds with a particular focus, later in the book, on paramagnets. It also illustrates the applications of both susceptibility measurements and EPR spectra in the characterization of electronic structures. The uses of ordered materials in magnetics technology are highlighted throughout.
