The emphasis in this book is on problems related to crossing the boundary from molecular systems to nano, macro and micro-scale materials and to the effects of the environment on the properties of th
Instant Notes in Inorganic Chemistry, second edition has been fully updated and new material added on developments in noble-gas chemistry and the synthesis, reactions and characterization of inorganic
The rare earth elements form a fascinating group, resembling each other very closely in both physical and chemical properties. The close similarity of the behaviour of the elements led to difficulties
Seduced by simplicity, physicists find themselves endlessly fascinated by hydrogen, the simplest of atoms. Hydrogen has shocked, it has surprised, it has embarrassed, it has humbled--and again and aga
Designated 'Molecule of the Year' in 1992 in recognition of its many biological roles, nitric oxide has wide significance in the world around us and the story of nitric oxide is still unfolding. This
Two research chemists (both New Mexico State U.) link the sometimes anomalous behavior of a variety of animals to some aspect of the biologically essential s-group of elements: sodium, potassium, magn
In the early nineteenth century chemists knew of the existence of ninety-two chemical elements, from Hydrogen to Uranium. For nearly forty years scientists thought they knew the content of our planet

Most of the 25 papers are from a symposium at the Society's March 2000 meeting in San Francisco, which was called to investigate potential measures for conserving and utilizing carbon dioxide to mitig
Several state-of-the-art applications of molten salts are presented, such as metal-molten salt systems, room temperature glass formation, and room temperature melts. Several recent examples of applica
Discovered by alchemists, prescribed by apothecaries, exploited by nineteenth-century industrialists, and abused by twentieth-century combatants, phosphorus is one of nature's deadliest- and most fasc
This Primer presents an introduction to molecular symmetry and point groups with an emphasis on their applications. The author has adopted a non-mathematical approach as far as possible and the text w
Building on the discussion of organometallics in two previous volumes, this brief primer provides an overview to organometallic chemistry on homogenous and heterogeneous catalysts. It describes the ma
Intended to complement Foundations of Organic Chemistry, the best-selling Primer by Michael Hornby and Josephine Peach, this text is a broad overview of inorganic chemistry. Writing in an informal and
A textbook for an introductory graduate course in physics or chemical physics. Dabrowski and Mussig, (Institute for Semiconductor Physics, Frankfurt, Germany) describe the most common faces of silicon
