Synthesis and Technique in Inorganic Chemistry: A Laboratory Manual

,

Synthesis and Technique in Inorganic Chemistry: A Laboratory Manual by Gregory S. Girolami, Thomas B. Rauchfuss and Robert J. Angelici has been extensively updated to reflect new developments in inorganic chemistry. Twenty-three experiments are divided into five sections: solid state chemistry, main group chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and bioinorganic chemistry.

The included experiments are safe, have been thoroughly tested to ensure reproducibility, are illustrative of modern issues in inorganic chemistry, and are capable of being performed in one or two laboratory periods of three or four hours. Because facilities vary from school to school, the authors have included a broad range of experiments to help provide a meaningful course in almost any academic setting.

Each clearly written & illustrated experiment begins with an introduction that highlights the theme of the experiment, often including a discussion of a particular characterization method that will be used, followed by the experimental procedure, a set of problems, a listing of suggested Independent Studies, and literature references.

Each experiment is well chosen and collectively they present a sufficiently broad spectrum of synthesis and compound characterization techniques to provide an excellent education for any student who completes them. The writing style is clear and concise and at a level that advanced undergraduate students can clearly comprehend. It is highly recommended as a textbook for a one-semester advanced inorganic synthesis course.

This is an excellent update to a classic inorganic chemistry laboratory text. One of the strengths of this book is that there is something here for everyone. The experiments described in the third edition illustrate a wide variety of topics in inorganic chemistry ranging from classic coordination chemistry to more recent advances in the fields of organometallic, solid state, and bioinorganic chemistry.

Theory of Simple Liquids 3rd Edition by Hansen and McDonald

,

Theory of Simple Liquids 3rd Edition, by Jean-Pierre Hansen and I.R. McDonald provides cutting-edge research in the principles of liquid-state theory with frequent comparisons of theoretical predictions with experimental and simulation data. It is suitable for researchers and post-graduates in the field of condensed matter science (Physics, Chemistry, Material Science), biophysics as well as those in the oil industry.

This book is an updated, advanced, but self-contained introduction to the principles of liquid-state theory. It presents the modern, molecular theory of the structural, thermodynamic interfacial and dynamical properties of the liquid phase of materials constituted of atoms, small molecules or ions. This book leans on concepts and methods form classical Statistical Mechanics in which theoretical predictions are systematically compared with experimental data and results from numerical simulations.

The overall layout of the book is similar to that of the previous two editions however, there are considerable changes in emphasis and several key additions including up-to-date presentation of modern theories of liquid-vapor coexistence and criticality, areas of considerable present and future interest such as super-cooled liquids and the glass transition, the area of liquid metals, which has grown into a mature subject area, now presented as part of the chapter ionic liquids.

There are expansion of existing sections on simulation methods, liquid-vapour coexistence, the hierarchical reference theory of criticality, and the dynamics of super-cooled liquids with new sections on binary fluid mixtures, surface tension, wetting, the asymptotic decay of pair correlations, fluids in porous media, the thermodynamics of glasses, and fluid flow at solid surfaces.

This text also offers entirely new chapter on applications to 'soft matter' of a combination of liquid state theory and coarse graining strategies, with sections on polymer solutions and polymer melts, colloidal dispersions, colloid-polymer mixtures, lyotropic liquid crystals, colloidal dynamics, and on clustering and gelation.

Electrochemical Methods: Fundamentals and Applications 2nd Edition, by Allen J. Bard and Larry R. Faulkner describes the current state off the field Significant additions include ultramicroelectrodes, modified electrodes, and scanning probe methods. Many chapters have been modified and improved, including electrode kinetics, voltammetric methods, and mechanisms of coupled chemical reactions.

This book takes the student from the most basic chemical and physical principles through fundamentals of thermodynamics, kinetics, and mass transfer, to a thorough treatment of all important experimental methods. It contains numerous examples, illustrations, end-of-chapter problems, references, uniform mathematical notation, and an extensive list of symbols, abbreviations, definitions, and dimensions.

It treats application of electrochemical methods to elucidation of reaction mechanisms; double layer structure and surface processes, and their effects on electrode processes are developed from first principles; other key features include a chapter on operational amplifier circuits and electrochemical instrumentation, unique coverage of spectrometric and photochemical experiments, and Laplace transform and digital simulation techniques.

New material has been added in the following areas; applications of ultramicroelectrodes, phenomena at well-defined surfaces, modified electrodes, modern electron-transfer theory, scanning probe methods, LCEC, impedance spectrometry, modern forms of pulse voltammetry, and various aspects of spectroelectrochemistry.

Chapter 5 in the first edition "Controlled Potential Microelectrode Techniques-Potential Step Methods" has been divided into two new chapters, 5 ""Basic Potential Step Methods" and 7 "Polarography and Pulse Voltammetry" in the new edition.

Chapter 12 "Double-Layer Structure and Adsorbed Intermediates in Electrode Processes" in the old edition has become Chapters 13 " Double-Layer Structure and Adsorption" and 14 " Electroactive Layers and Modified Electrodes" in the new edition.

The previous edition had a single chapter on experiments in which other characterization methods are coupled to electrochemical systems (Chapter 14). The new edition has a new Chapter 16 "Scanning Probe Techniques" as well as Chapter 17 "Spectroelectrochemistry and Other Coupled Characterization Methods" and Chapter 18 "Photoelectrochemistry and Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence".

This textbook for a senior undergraduate or beginning graduate course introduces the fundamentals of electrochemical methods now in widespread use.
