ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Apart from my efforts is this particular project, I would like to express my hearts
of gratitude to my guide Prof. P.K.Mathur ( Inorganic Chemistry , Lucknow
University ) for his undefined contribution on this project.
In addition to above all I would thank to my head Prof. P.C.Srivastava
for special contribution.
The project has been written in simple language and profusely illustrated with
self explanatory diagrams. The subject index is also worked out given in the
starting which makes the cosulation of the required topic easier. I wish to express
my deep sense of gratitude and indebteness to those who helped me directly or
indirectly during the preparation of the manuscript of the project.
Especially I am indebted to Prof.P.K.Mathur ,for his continuous
encouragement in this direction.
