Bøger i Gmelin Handbook of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry - 8th edition serien

The description of uranium and its compounds, for which the Gmelin Institute has started a series of volumes supplementing the main volume of 1936, follows in its arrangement closely the order chosen for the transuranium volumes.

The volume "Rare Earth Elements" C 11 deals with the compounds and systems of the rare earth elements with boron, Le., borides, borates, and associated alkali double compounds.

Organocopper reagents have found wide use in synthetic organic chemistry during the past few decades. This last volume brings to an end the series of organocopper compounds and contains an Empirical Formula and Ligand Formula Index for about 3000 organocopper compounds and reagents described in Parts 1 to 4.

The present volume describes the general properties of the thorium atom and ions, the thermodynamics of its compounds and solutions, the behavior of solutions and solid com pounds under the influence of its own radiation as well as an external radiation field, and spectroscopic data in great detail.

The present volume, "Manganese" D 5, continues the description of the manganese complexes. In Chapters 22 to 29 of this volume are treated complexes with amine-N-polycarboxylic acids, hydrazinecarboxylic acids, amides, hydrazides, derivatives of hydroxylamine (e.g., hydroxamic acids), oximes and nitroso compounds, azo compounds, and triazenes.

This is a critical compilation of crystallographic data prepared by the University of Geneva. It contains over 3200 compounds representative of the structure types found among inorganic compounds. The work aims to clarify and classify data for intermetallic and other inorganic structures.

The present volume, "Organoosmium Compounds" 8 6, systematically covers the litera ture through 1992, including many later references. 80th volumes deal with trinuclear compounds with ligands other than CO which are bonded to Os by one carbon atom ("1L ligands "), regardless of whether the ligand is additionally coordinated to Os by heteroatoms.

Volume 1 (systems with hydrogen and noble gases) of this particular supplement will be published subsequently, whereas Volume 3a (boron and nitrogen), Volume 3b (boron and nitrogen, boron and fluorine), and Volume 4 (boron compounds containing Cl, Br, I, S, Se, and Te, as well as a section containing carboranes) have already been published.

The first supplement consisting of 3 volumes covered all the literature uniformly up to the end of 1977, whereas the two volumes of the 2nd supplement have extended the literature coverage of boron compounds to 1980 and the four volumes of the 3rd supplement to 1984.

With platinum and rhodium, palladium is one of the most important members of the platinum metal group. The chemistry of the palladium-hydrogen system is so large that it merits a separate volume, so this book starts with the binary oxides and oxopalladates followed by hydroxides, hydroxo complexes and aquo complexes.

With contributions by numerous experts

The present Supplement Volume Beryllium A 3 continues and completes the description of the physical properties of the element, begun in Supplement Volume A 2, 1991, and also treats the electrochemical behavior of the metal.
