Over two decades have passed since the fifth edition of Phosphorus: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Technology. Major advances in chemistry, materials science, electronics, and medicine have expanded and clarified the role of phosphorus in both our everyday appliances and groundbreaking research. Significantly expanded, updated, and reorganized, this sixth edition organizes and explains vital phosphorus research and relevant information available in highly specialized reviews and references on select related topics. An authoritative and comprehensive review of phosphorus chemistry and related technology, Phosphorus: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Technology covers historical, academic, industrial, ...
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 amid...
Hardbound. Phosphorus 2000 gives a unique coverage of the whole field of phosphorus chemistry and endeavours to summarise the subject at the start of the twenty-first century. Phosphorus chemistry is very wide ranging, reaching into many other branches of science including biochemistry and numerous industrial technologies. The present book has been adapted from the fifth edition of Phosphorus: An Outline of its Chemistry, Biochemistry & Technology (1995), to which corrections, major rearrangements of text, and many additions have been made.Phosphorus chemistry is treated here as a major branch of science in its own right - displacing the outmoded and frequently inappropriate concepts of 'organic' and 'inorganic' branches of chemistry which have been inherited from earlier centuries. Fundamental aspects are covered, a broad survey is carried out, and some of the very recent advances are also included. Adequate coverage of the simp
Since the discovery of the transistor in 1948, the study of the solid state has been burgeoning. Recently, cold fusion and the ceramic superconductor have given cause for excitement. There are two approaches possible to this area of science, namely, that of solid state physics and solid state chemistry, although both overlap extensively. The former is more concerned with electronic states in solids (including electromagnetics) whereas the latter is more concerned with interactions of atoms in solids. The area of solid state physics is well documented, however, there are very few texts which deal with solid state chemistry. Luminescence and the Solid State has been written to fulfil this need...
In this reference, the author thoroughly reviews the current state of condensed phosphate chemistry. A unique feature of this volume is an examination of the recent developments in X-ray structural techniques, reporting on fundamental results obtained through their use. Enhanced by comprehensive tables reporting crystal data, chapters identify and characterize more than 2,000 compounds. Additional features include a concise survey of the historical development of condensed phosphate chemistry; the presently accepted classification system; a review of each family of condensed phosphates and much more.
This 1981 introduction to the chemistry of a single element, phosphorus, covers many of the major themes of chemistry. Important in inorganic and organic chemistry and in biochemistry, phosphorus is also of considerable economic significance and plays a vital role in the biosphere. By presenting a detailed treatment of selected topics, this book provides a concise account of phosphorus chemistry suitable for anyone with an interest in the field. The book provides a survey of phosphorus compounds by structural and bond types, a review of physical methods in phosphorus chemistry, a review of basicity and co-ordination chemistry of phosphorus donors, a discussion of phosphorus in its group, and a chapter on reagents containing phosphorus in general chemistry. A critical bibliography introduces the reader to the advanced literature. S. I. Units are used throughout, but c.g.s units are also given when appropriate.
Contemporary Aspects of Boron: Chemistry and Biological Applications highlights the biological activity and applications of boron containing compounds. The authors' specific approach surveys general features of the subject, while exploring new and novel strategies for preparing certain chemical and natural boron products that are of significant substance in medicinal chemistry. For example, cancer treatment is one of the most important issues related to such products. In addition to contributing to the development of new drugs by addressing biological applications in medicinal and industrial fields, the book provides a comprehensive review of the most relevant components that comprise the pharmaceutical, medicinal and environmental applications of boron containing compounds.* Timely and comprehensive * Provides new insights to active researchers in the field * Presents concepts and methods in simple scientific terms
The Enzymes
The apatites and related calcium phosphates have been of considerable interest to biologists, mineralogists, and inorganic and industrial chemists for many years. This book contains a detailed description of the structures and structural interrelationships of the calcium orthophosphates, including the apatites. Their preparation, crystal growth and dissolution, chemical reactions including thermal decomposition, IR, Raman and NMR spectra and various physical properties are discussed. Apatites other than those containing calcium and phosphorus are included. Synthetic, mineral and biological carbonate apatites are also considered. A wide, but critical coverage of the literature is given, which includes a substantial amount not written in English. Research from many disciplines is included which results in a comprehensive compilation of recent work.
