Book SynopsisThe Dictionary of Inorganic Compounds is a continually updated information system on all the most important inorganic chemical substances. Each year a supplement to the main work is issued which brings the whole publication completely up to date. The first supplement lists approximately 1700 entries including both new compounds and new data on compounds already listed in the main work, with literature coverage up to mid 1992. Thus, the complete set of the dictionary is extended to approximately 42,000 compounds in 21,700 entries. Coverage of co-ordination compounds, laboratory chemicals such as solvents and reagents, bio-inorganic compounds and other compounds of particular physical, chemical, structural or biological interest is increased. Each supplement contains name, molecular formula, commonly occurring structural types and CAS Registry Number indexes, as in the main work. The indexes in the second and subsequent Supplements will be cumulative, allowing access to the entries in alTable of ContentsEntries listed in formula order. Name Index. CAS Registry Number Index.

Book SynopsisChirality in Transition Metal Chemistry is an essential introduction to this increasingly important field for students and researchers in inorganic chemistry. Emphasising applications and real-world examples, the book begins with an overview of chirality, with a discussion of absolute configurations and system descriptors, physical properties of enantiomers, and principles of resolution and preparation of enantiomers. The subsequent chapters deal with the the specifics of chirality as it applies to transition metals. Some reviews of Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry ...useful to students taking an advanced undergraduate course and particularly to postgraduates and academics undertaking research in the areas of chiral inorganic supramolecular complexes and materials.

Book SynopsisSurfactants and Interfacial Phenomena Milton J. Rosen Bridging the gap between purely theoretical aspects of surface chemistry and the purely empirical experience of the industrial technologist, this book applies theoretical surface chemistry to understanding the action of surfactants in modifying interfacial phenomena. It surveys the structural types of commercially available surfactants and discusses interfacial phenomena, the physicochemical principles underlying the action of surfactants in each phenomenon, and the effect of structural changes in the surfactants and environmental changes on their action. Tables of data on various interfacial properties of surfactants, compiled and calculated from the latest scientific literature, are included. 1978 304 pp. An Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry, 2nd Ed.

Book SynopsisThe discovery and evolution of oranometallic cluster chemistry is a major event in the development of inorganic chemistry. This is the second volume in the series ''The Chemistry of Metal Clusters'' edited by Du Shriver, Herb Kaesz, and Richard Adams. This volume focuses on the chemistry of the early transition elements in their lower and middle oxidation states, i.e., halide, sulfide, oxide, phosphate, alkoxide, and related o-donor ligands. The key feature linking all these complexes in metal-metal bonding is the presence of pi-donor ligands.Table of ContentsFrom the Contents: Introduction and Scope/ Zeolite Physical and Chemical Characteristics and Their Impact on Diffusion/Application of Diffusional Transport Phenomena to Catalysis/ Diffusion in Zeolites - Theoretical Considerations/ Measurement of Molecular Transport in Zeolites/Principles of Shape Selectivity/ Examples of the Interplay of Diffusion and Reaction in Shape Selective Reactions/ Impact of Shape Selective Zeolites in Industrial Applications/ Conclusions

Book SynopsisThe Most Beautiful Molecule The molecule, buckminsterfullerene, is beautiful physically and intellectually. Its qualities, and even some of its properties, can be appreciated instantly and intuitively by nonscientists. Its uniqueness is bound to lead to novel applications-superconductivity is the leading contender at the moment. The commercial potential of buckminsterfullerene has heightened the excitement and controversy in recent years, while the exact nature of the discovery process in 1985 has been the subject of a heated feud between the British and American scientists involved.-Hugh Aldersey-Williams Ten years ago, the discovery of buckminsterfullerene, a previously unknown form of carbon, stunned the scientific community, as much for the discovery itself as for the manner in which it came about. In the words of author Hugh Aldersey-Williams, it was an example of classic bootleg science. The work was done on the back of other, funded projects, and when Table of ContentsMaking Molecules.
