  • The Chemistry of Iron, Cobalt and Nickel

    Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry
    • 1st Edition
    • D. Nicholls
    • English
    The Chemistry of Iron, Cobalt and Nickel deals with the chemistry of iron, cobalt, and nickel and covers topics ranging from the occurrence and distribution of all three elements to their properties, allotropy, and analytical chemistry. Compounds of iron, cobalt, and nickel in both low and high oxidation states are also discussed. This book is divided into three sections and begins with the history of iron, along with its occurrence and distribution, allotropy, and preparation and industrial production. The nuclear, physical, and chemical properties of iron, as well as the biological importance of iron compounds, are also considered. Compounds of iron are discussed, including carbonyls and nitric oxide complexes. The next two sections deal with the history, occurrence and distribution, allotropy, analytical chemistry, and preparation and industrial production of cobalt and nickel, along with their nuclear, physical, and chemical properties. Compounds of cobalt and nickel are examined, from carbonyls and nitrosyls to cyanides and organometallic compounds. This monograph will be a useful resource for inorganic chemists.

    Essays on Analytical Chemistry: In Memory of Professor Anders Ringbom is a collection of analytical chemistry papers and research studies in honor of the memory of Professor Anders Ringbom, a highly esteemed researcher and teacher. The papers are grouped under the following headings: Chemical Equilibria, Titrations, Photometric Analysis, Electrochemistry, Separations, Trace Analysis, Kinetic Analysis, and Other Analytical Topics. This book is organized into eight parts encompassing 52 chapters. The first part deals with the concept of chemical equilibria in acid-base and metal complexes. The next parts cover the applications of different titration techniques, photometric analysis, electrochemistry, and separation techniques. Other parts highlight the principles and application of trace analysis, including the determination of heavy metals and airborne particulates. The last parts contain papers that examine the analytical application of the rate phenomena of several chemical reactions. These parts also tackle the topics of sampling, statistical analysis in analytical chemistry, and the features of photoelectron spectroscopy and capillary electrophoresis. This book will be of great value to analytical chemists, researchers, and analytical chemistry students.

  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 80
    • Graham A. Webb
    • English
    Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical tool used by chemists and physicists to study the structure and dynamics of molecules. In recent years, no other technique has gained such significance as NMR spectroscopy. It is used in all branches of science in which precise structural determination is required and in which the nature of interactions and reactions in solution is being studied. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy has established itself as a premier means for the specialist and non-specialist alike to become familiar with new techniques and applications of NMR spectroscopy.

  • Advanced Techniques in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS-MS and GC-TOF-MS) for Environmental Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 61
    • English
    Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been the technique of choice of analytical scientists for many years. The latest developments in instrumentation, including tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) and time-of-flight (TOF) detectors, have opened up and broadened the scope of environmental analytical chemistry. This book summarizes the major advances and relevant applications of GC-MS techniques over the last 10 years, with chapters by leading authors in the field of environmental chemistry. The authors are drawn from academia, industry and government. The book is organized in three main parts. Part I covers applications of basic GC-MS to solve environmental-relate... problems. Part II focuses on GC-MS-MS instrumentation for the analyses of a broad range of analysis in environmental samples (pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disruptors, etc.). Part III covers the use of more advanced GC-MS techniques using low- and high-resolution mass spectrometry for many applications related to the environment, food and industry.

  • Hydrogen Bonding

    Papers Presented at the Symposium on Hydrogen Bonding Held at Ljubljana, 29 July–3 August 1957
    • 1st Edition
    • D. Hadži
    • English
    Hydrogen Bonding covers the papers presented at the Symposium on Hydrogen Bonding, held at Ljubljana on July 29 to August 3, 1957. The book focuses on the developments, processes, approaches, methodologies, and reactions involved in hydrogen bonding. The selection first offers information on the structure of water; function of hydrogen bond in solids and liquids; and study of hydrogen bonds by neutron diffraction. The text then takes a look at x-ray and neutron studies of hydrogen bonding; x-ray studies of ammonium bifluoride, potassium hydrogen maleate, theophylline, and caffeine; and isotope effect in relation to bond length in hydrogen bonds in crystals. The publication ponders on proton magnetic resonance measurements of hydrogen bonding; interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance shifts in hydrogen bonding; nuclear resonance investigation of hydrogen bonding; and infrared spectroscopy and hydrogen bonding — band-widths and frequency shifts. The book then examines the tunneling of protons as a cause of the splitting of hydroxyl stretching bands; infrared spectroscopic study of H-bonding and of metal-element bonding; and effect of hydrogen bond formation on the electronic spectra of phenolic substances. The selection is a vital source of information for readers interested in hydrogen bonding.

  • Regulation of Gluconeogenesis

    9th Conference of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Chemie
    • 1st Edition
    • Hans-Dieter Söling + 1 more
    • English
    Regulation of Gluconeogenesis documents the proceedings of 9th Conference of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Chemie. This meeting was first planned as a continuation of a former Conference of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Chemie on ""Stoffwechsel der isoliert perfundierten Leber"". However, the organizers of the present meeting decided that it seemed far more reasonable to restrict the subject to a special biochemical problem than to a technical procedure which had not changed very much during the last years. This volume contains 24 chapters and begins with a paper that identifies the substrates, activators, and inhibitors which may influence the rate of reaction of pyruvate carboxylase from liver. Other papers deal with topics such as purification and properties of pyruvate carboxylase from rat liver; the location of pyruvate carboxylase in mitochondria; effects of quinolinic acid on the free and total nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotides of rat liver; and effects of biguanides on gluconeogenesis in rats and guinea pigs.

    Spectroscopic Data Relative to Diatomic Molecules provides information pertinent to the electronic spectrum and spectroscopic properties of diatomic molecules. This book consists of a collection of tables that mainly deal with electronic spectra located in the infrared, the visible and the ultraviolet. Thermochemical data have been used in this book to make estimates of dissociation energies while results from electron diffraction experiments have been used to determine internuclear distances. This text provides information regarding potential energy curves, ionization potential, correlations with atomic states, electronic configuration, lifetimes, transition probabilities, astrophysical applications, and chemical physics. This book is a valuable resource for spectroscopists.
