The 2nd, updated edition presents very different and historically competing views on chemical bonding analysis. It not only explains the principles and theories behind the methods of chemical bonding analysis, but provides additionally practical examples how to derive bonding descriptors and how to interpret the results based on examples.
New: Two additional chapters on the Roby-Gould method and further bonding descriptors.
Simon Grabowsky studied chemistry at Free University of Berlin and received his doctoral degree from the same institution in 2011 before he went to the University of Western Australia (UWA) in Perth for a postdoctoral stay. Simon became Assistant Professor at UWA in early 2014, but left later in the same year to take on an Emmy Noether fellowship of the German Research Foundation (DFG) which allowed him to be head of a research group at the University of Bremen, Germany. In 2015, he received the title "Professor" from the University of Bremen, and in 2019 he habilitated in physical chemistry. Since August 2019, Simon is a private docent and permanent research group leader in chemistry at the University of Bern, Switzerland, as head of the solid-state and X-ray laboratory. He is President of the Swiss Society for Crystallography.
