Inorganic Trace Analysis is unique in discussing both the development of new procedures for inorganic trace analysis and the improvement of existing methods. its emphasis is on improving technique rather than presenting ‘recipes’ of already developed methods. By discussing the underlying principles behind current best practice procedures employed, the book assists the reader in the development of new systems for working under chemically clean conditions. Inorganic Trace Analysis, now available in paperback, is invaluable for any analytical chemist involved in high accuracy procedures. The authors have written a text that will not date rapidly, but will stimulate others to push forward the frontiers of trace analysis. Reviews of hardback edition: ‘This book is timely, and I recommend it as essential reading for practitioners of trace analysis.…’ — Chemistry in Britain ‘This book will stimulate readers to extend the frontiers of trace analysis and make the "impossible analysis of today" the "routine analysis of tomorrow" — Trends in Analytical Chemistry

The analogy between the chemistry of molecular transition metal clusters and the processes of chemisorption and catalysis at metal surfaces (the Cluster Surface analogy) has for a number of years provided an interplay between experimental and theoretical inorganic and physical chemists. This collaborative approach has borne fruit in the use of well-defined modes of metal-ligand bonding in discrete molecular clusters, models for metal-ligand binding on surfaces. Some of the key topics discussed in this book are: mechanisms of the fluxional behaviour in clusters in the liquid phase and the connections with diffusion processes on extended surfaces, and the role of metal-metal bond breaking in diffusion; analogies in the structure of chemisorbed species and related ligands on metallic clusters; analogies between benzene surface chemistry on extended metal surfaces and on metal surfaces in molecular cluster compounds with particular reference to structural distortions; and the role of mobile precursors for dissociation of chemisorption on extended metals and on clusters.

Transition metals open up new opportunities for synthesis, because their means of bonding and their reaction mechanisms differ from those of the elements of the s and p blocks. In the last two decades the subject has mushroomed - established reactions are seeing both technical improvements and increasing numbers of applications, and new reactions are being developed. The practicality of the subject is demonstrated by the large number of publications coming from the process development laboratories of pharmaceutical companies, and its importance is underlined by the fact that three Nobel prizes have been awarded for discoveries in this field in the 21st Century already.

"Organic Synthesis Using Transition Metals, 2nd Edition" considers the ways in which transition metals, as catalysts and reagents, can be used in organic synthesis, both for pharmaceutical compounds and for natural products.

The third edition of Transition Metals in the Synthesis of Complex Organic Molecules is a comprehensive revision and significant expansion of the second edition. The clear and systematic approach to the formation, manipulation, and reactivity of organometallic complexes has been maintained. The book is divided into 10 chapters starting with general formalisms, electron counting, and basic principles of organometallic reaction mechanisms. The organic chemistry of transition metals is then presented by class of metal complex, with many examples of applications in the synthesis of complex natural products and pharmaceuticals. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as all practicing synthetic organic chemists. It is written for organic chemists and offers an easy entry into the field of organotransition metal chemistry without requiring a background in inorganic chemistry.

This book is written for scientists who require information on organobismuth chemistry, either by specific topic or by compound. "Organobismuth Chemistry" covers, through early 1999, stoichiometric compounds that contain the Bi-C bond; not included, with the exception of a few examples, are inorganic compounds, minerals, metal alloys, and non-stoichiometric materials.

Organobismuth chemistry is covered in a comprehensive, self-contained manner. The book focuses on the academic aspects of the field; therefore, references to patents are made only when pertinent. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to bismuth as the element. In chapters 2 to 4, organobismuth compounds are classified according to the types of compounds and dealt in detail. Chapter 5 is devoted to the use of bismuth and derivatives in organic transformations. In the first four chapters, brief to moderate descriptions for selected experimental procedures are included; they are intended to inform the readers of relevant protocols and should serve in preparative studies which are based on analogies. In the final chapter the X-ray data of fundamental and/or structurally interesting organobismuth (III) and (V) compounds are collected. At the beginning of each chapter, the text is preceded by detailed table of contents of the subject dealt in it. By inspection of the table, it should be possible to locate quickly information on a specific organobismuth compound.

Definite efforts have been made to include all factual data pertinent to an understanding of each class of organobismuth compounds. The main attention is paid to the methods of synthesis, molecular structure, and chemical behaviours of organobismuth compounds, although some knowledge of spectroscopy and other physical properties are also included. The format for presenting information has both descriptive information and numerical data. Numerical data are mostly presented in tabular form. Tables of known compounds in each chapter are organized so as to enable the readers to make easy access to the most relevant data source of a compound. The nomenclature does not follow strictly the recommendations of IUPAC, but usage is mostly consistent with common practice in the current literature. In order to help the readers to save time in looking for appropriate spectral data, an effort has also been made to provide the IR, MS, NMR and UV spectral data sources in tabular form. All references for chapters are collected together in a list at the end of the book. In the list, references are given chronologically both in code and in full form, with authors names.

This book will appeal to academic and industrial researchers alike, and will be particularly useful to chemists engaged in bench work. In addition it is hoped that this book will provide a stimulus as the basis for further development of organobismuth chemistry.
