    Studies in Inorganic Chemistry 2, Phosphorus: An Outline of Its Chemistry, Biochemistry and Technology, Second Edition deals with the organic, inorganic, biochemical, physical, environmental, and technical aspects of phosphorus chemistry. This book is composed of 11 chapters and starts with a brief background of phosphorus with the recognition of three major allotropic modifications of elemental phosphorus. The chemical composition of phosphorus is analyzed as containing either three, four, five, or six oxygen atoms linked to a central phosphorus atom. Simple phosphorus nitrides and other related compounds are also dealt with, including compounds with P-NH2 linkages, P-NF2 linkages, and amides with P-N and P-C linkages. One kind of orthophosphate esters is analyzed, because it is numerous, involved in many life processes, and has various applications in industry and the sciences. Phosphorus sulfur compounds, polyphosphines, ring compounds, and high polymers are also described. This book further discusses the production through the combination of phosphine with borane that gives rise to more varieties of possible phosphorus-boron hydrides, and then explains the simplest but a hypothetical compound known as H2b-Ph2. Attention is also given to the preparation and study of metal-coordination compounds, of which the P atom retains at least an approximate tetrahedral bond configuration. Finally, the chemical methods for the detection and estimation of phosphorus in a compound are explained, where a prior oxidation and/or hydrolysis should first be considered. This text is intended for university undergraduate levels in the discipline of general chemistry. This book can also be a useful reference for research workers and technologists dealing with phosphorus chemistry.

    The whole of Volume 22 is devoted to the kinetics and mechanisms of the decomposition and interaction of inorganic solids, extended to include metal carboxylates. After an introductory chapter on the characteristic features of reactions in the solid phase, experimental methods of investigation of solid reactions and the measurement of reaction rates are reviewed in Chapter 2 and the theory of solid state kinetics in Chapter 3. The reactions of single substances, loosely grouped on the basis of a common anion since it is this constituent which most frequently undergoes breakdown, are discussed in Chapter 4, the sequence being effectively that of increasing anion complexity. Chapter 5 covers reactions between solids, and includes catalytic processes where one solid component remains unchanged, double compound formation and rate processes involving the interactions of more than three crystalline phases. The final chapter summarises the general conclusions drawn in the text of Chapter 2-5.
