For a number of years, there existed a real gap between the science of metal complexes and that of electron spin resonance (ESR). Simple reasons account for this fact. At a certain stage of development the scientists engaged in...

In writing this book I had two main objectives: (1) to teach the organic chemist how to interpret proton magnetic resonance spectra, and (2) to provide the reference data which are constantly needed in the use of proton spectra...

Professor Wilson Baker, F.R.S. Organic compounds are classified as aliphatic, carbocyclic, or heterocyclic, though in the very many cases where two or more such characteristic groupings are present, the classification chosen...

Since the early 1930's, Soviet chemists have played a lead­ ing role in the study of unfamiliar oxidation state compounds of the peroxide, superoxide, and ozonide types. Interest in the alkali and alkaline earth metal ...

In the last twenty years the literature on the processes of ionic polymerization has reached such a level that there is not a single question which is not covered by the information contained in the many monographs, reference...

Research in solid-state physics in general and in the physics of dielectrics in particular has grown rapidly in scope and quan­ tity in the last twenty-five years. In the fifties and early sixties, there was an upsurge of...

Our knowledge of the photodegradation of polymers, chemical evolution, photosynthesis, visual perception and the biological effects of light depends heavily on our ability to elucidate the primary photochemical processes of...

This publication is the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on the Dynamics of Polyatomic Van der Waals Molecules held at the Chateau de Bonas, Castera-Verduzan, France, from August 21 through August 26,...

This book is a documentation of a one day workshop covering searches in the Beilstein database on the host STN. Search possibilities in all main fields are described by examples; the answers are also given and commented. Using...

It is amazing how much information can be gleaned from a magnetic resonance spectrum by one who knows. That series of lines on chart paper may conceal anything from energies of activation and spin densities, to conformations...

THE present volume, which is the first of a three-volume work on gas phase chromatography, deals with the problems of gas chromatography in packed columns. Gas chromatography, like any other analytical method, is mainly a...

This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications RADAR AND SONAR, PART II is based on the proceedings of the second week of the IMA summer program "Radar and Sonar". Week two was devoted to the presentation of problems and...

Data analysis is important from two points of view: first, it enables a large mass of information to be reduced to a reasonable compass, and second, it assists in the interpretation of experimental results against some...

The physical properties of water and steam have been the subject of lhorough investigation for a long time. It can, on the one hand, be due to the important role of this substance in the processes that take place in nature and,...

On May 15-18, 1961, the 12th Annual Symposium on Spectros­ copy was held in Chicago. Over the twelve-year history of this meeting, it has continually grown and now ranks as one of the major technical meetings in the field of...

The interaction of neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and neuroactive drugs with receptors localized at the cell surface initiates a chain of molecular events leading to integrated neuronal responses to the triggering stimuli...

The Eleventh Symposium on Advances in Tracer Method­ ology was held in Boston on October 13-14, 1966. The sym­ posium, which was sponsored by the New England Nuclear Corporation, commemorated the tenth anniversary of the...

This collection conta ins the results of a number of investiga­ tions which have been carried out in the Hydrothermal Synthesis Laboratory of the Institute of Crystallography, Academy of Sciences of the USSR; it constitutes a...

With the development in recent years of NMR spectrometers capable of recording with a minimum of effort data that are both accurate and reproducible, a need has arisen for spectra catalogs and data books to aid the researcher...

With the rise in general awareness of the effects of trace chemicals in the environment on man's health, it has been realized that traditional methods of analysis are often inadequate. Reliable analyses are needed in the...

In comparison with engineering, geology is a relatively new domain of know­ ledge. Man has been building almost from the moment he came down out of the trees or emerged from the caves. All of his structures were founded in or...

The ever-increasing importance of chemical reactions at high and superhigh temperatures in crystalline, amorphous, and semicrystalline SOlids, as well as the reactions of these solids with gases, prompted the authors of this...
