Abstract
This Chapter serves as an introduction to the principles necessary for an understanding of the physical and chemical behavior of Fe in different environments. In this first Section brief consideration is given to atomic principles, both nuclear and electronic. This is followed by a mention of spectroscopic techniques that depend upon the nuclear properties and includes a brief discussion of the nature of the information that is obtained from them. The bulk of the Chapter, however, is concerned with electronic behavior, progressing from a consideration of free states to elementary descriptions of crystal field and molecular orbital theories. Examples will be given of Fe in complexes with different types of environment, in mineral structures, and in polynuclear species, the latter being of great importance in the chemistry of Fe in natural systems.
