Techniques of Melt Crystallization: (Vol 19 Techniques of Chemistry)

Organic Solvents Physical Properties and Methods of Purification, Fourth Edition (Volume II in the Techniques of Chemistry series, Edited by Arnold Weissberger) Edited by John A. Riddick, William B. Bunger, and Theodore K. Sakano This fourth edition updates and expands the material of the 15-year-old third edition. Besides revising the physical properties of preparation techniques for previously noted solvents, over 150 new solvents nave been added, many selected to complete groups of isomers and expand homologous series listed in the previous edition. Several isomeric and homologous series are initiated here, including the xylenols, chlorinated toluenes, xylidenes, picolines, lutidines, and silanes. 1986 (0 471-08467-0) 1,325 pp. Physical Methods of Chemistry Volume One: Components of Scientific Instruments and Applications of Computers to Chemical Research, Second Edition Edited by Bryant W. Rossiter and John F. Hamilton Now in a revised Second Edition, the classic Physical Methods of Chemistry series is an independent 8-volume set which surveys the most prevalent methods of determining a wide variety of physical properties of matter. Volume One presents general laboratory techniques common to many of the specific physical methods that are detailed in subsequent volumes. An excellent new work that also serves as a resource of information on a spectrum of components, tools, and techniques that are often used but rarely treated comprehensively in one book. 1986 (0 471-08034-9) 834 pp. Volume Two: Electrochemical Methods, Second Edition Edited by Bryant W. Rossiter and John F. Hamilton Volume Two presents a thorough, up-to-date survey of the applications of electrometric methods in chemical systems. Following an introductory chapter on electrochemical theory common to all electroanalytical methods, it provides information on the latest techniques, especially those with broad applications, including polarography. 1986 (0 471-08027-6) 904 pp.
