SUGGESTED BOOKS FOR CSIR UGC NET & GATE CHEMICAL SCIENCES

The best suggestion to crack any exam is to go through the textbooks written by authorities in the respective fields. Following is a list of textbooks in different areas of chemical sciences. Actual list is very vast. But it is better to go through only few books that are followed by our universities and IITs and those which are the best in the industry.

INORGANIC CHEMISTRY BOOKS
1) Inorganic chemistry by Shriver & Atkins (most of the IITs suggest this book)
2) Inorganic chemistry by Catherine E. Housecroft (Another favourite of IIT professors)
3) Inorganic chemistry by Miessler (I like this book for simple and straight forward explanation)
4) Inorganic chemistry: Principles of structure and reactivity by James E. Huheey (Enjoyable reading)
5) Advanced inorganic chemistry by F. Albert Cotton & Geoffrey Wilkinson (Must for an inorganic chemist)
6) The organometallic chemistry of the transition metals by Robert H. Crabtree
7) NMR, NQR, EPR & MOSSBAUER Spectroscopy in inorganic chemistry by R.V.Parish
