Abstract
In preceding chapters the theories underlying some of the methods which have been used to characterize coordination compounds have been discussed in some detail. The present chapter provides a less detailed survey of other methods, stretching from indicators of complex formation through to some which provide insights into physical structure, others into electronic structure, yet others into the forces between atoms and molecules.

Further reading
Two books which cover the majority of the methods described in this Chapter are Structural Methods in Inorganic Chemistry by E. A. V. Ebsworth, D. W. H. Rankin and S. Cradock, Blackwell, Oxford, 1987 and NMR, NQR, EPR and Mössbauer Spectroscopy in Inorganic Chemistry,R. V. Parish. Ellis Horwood, Hemel Hempstead, 1990. An older book, but one that covers a wider subject area, with some good chapters is Physical Methods in Advanced Inorganic Chemistry H. A. O. Hill and P. Day, eds., Interscience, London, 1968. Readable insights into a limited number of particular areas can be found in Spectroscopy of Inorganic-Based Materials (Advances in Spectroscopy Vol 14). R. J. H. Clark and R. E. Hester, eds. John Wiley, Chichester, 1987.

NMR and the Periodic Table’ R. K. Harris and B. E. Mann (eds.), Academic Press, New York, 1978; provides an older, but excellent and reasonably readable, specialist treatment.
A very readable review of modern aspects and applications of NMR is to be found in the July 1993 (page 589 on) issue of Chemistry in Britain.
There are two key books on the applications of vibrational spectroscopy: Metal–Ligand and Related Vibrations by D. M. Adams, Edward Arnold, London, 1984; and Infrared and Raman Spectra of Inorganic and Coordination Compounds, by K. Nakamoto, J. Wiley, New York, 1986.
