Abstract
This is a book concerning the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes. The subject has been of interest for a long time, for it was realized by Pauling as long ago as the 1930’s that there was a diagnostic criterion between magnetic properties and the bonding of metal ions in complexes. Indeed, over the years, magnetic properties have continued to be used in this fashion. With time and the influence of physicists working in this field, the emphasis has shifted so that chemists are becoming more interested in the magnetic phenomena themselves. The subject is no longer a subsidiary one. One result of this new emphasis is that chemists have continued to decrease the working temperature of their experiments, with measurements at liquid helium temperatures now being common.
