This book provides unified coverage of the structure, properties, and synthesis of transition metal oxides. Written by two world-class scientists, it offers both an excellent window on modern solid-state chemistry and a gateway to understanding the behavior of inorganic solids.

Scientists and advanced students in inorganic and solid-state chemistry, materials science, ceramics, and condensed matter science will welcome this updated Second Edition, which features new or expanded material on: oxyanion derivatives of cuprates, mercury cuprates, lodder compounds, and new oxide systems; giant magnetoresistance, superconductivity, and nonlinear materials; and recently developed synthetic strategies and examples, including soft chemistry routes.
