A team of editors have selected important and interesting compounds which have appeared in the literature since publication of volume 8. Volume 9 contains approximately 1200 compounds which are mostly new entries, plus a selection of data on compounds already listed in volumes 1-8. This represents literature coverage to mid-1995 and extends the range of the "Dictionary of Inorganic Compounds" to over 50,000 compounds.

The Dictionary of Inorganic Compounds presents fundamental information on more than 42,000 of the most important and useful inorganic compounds-each screened for inclusion according to rigorous criteria. With its combination of numerical, textual, and bibliographic data, you typically can find all the information you need in this one publication. Organized according to empirical name and indexed by name, structural type, and CAS Registry number, each entry includes: Compound name, synonyms and physical description CAS Registry number Formula and formula weight Structural type with a diagram or description Source or synthesis Stability, solubility, melting and boiling points, sublimations conditions, and vapor pressure Hazard/toxicity Spectroscopic information References Supplements to the main work-available separately-provide information on newer compounds and revised data on compounds already listed. Indexes in the second and subsequent supplements are cumulative, providing quick access to entries in all the supplements from a single index.

A dictionary containing over 2,000 terms and concepts related to inorganic chemistry.

Fully revised and updated, the seventh edition of this popular dictionary is the ideal reference resource for students of chemistry, either at school or at university. With over 5000 entries—over 175 new to this edition—it covers all aspects of chemistry, from physical chemistry to biochemistry. The seventh edition boasts broader coverage in areas such as nuclear magnetic resonance, polymer chemistry, nanotechnology and graphene, and absolute configuration, increasing the dictionary's appeal to students in these fields. New diagrams have been added and existing diagrams updated to illustrate topics that would benefit from a visual aid. There are also biographical entries on key figures, featured entries on major topics such as polymers and crystal defects, and a chronology charting the main discoveries in atomic theory, biochemistry, explosives, and plastics.
