Encyclopedia of the Alkaline Earth Compounds is a compilation describing the physical and chemical properties of all of the alkaline earth compounds that have been elucidated to date in the scientific literature. These compounds are used in applications such as LEDs and electronic devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. Preparation methods for each compound are presented to show which techniques have been successful. Structures and phase diagrams are presented where applicable to aid in understanding the complexities of the topics discussed. With concise descriptions presenting the chemical, physical and electrical properties of any given compound, this subject matter will serve as an introduction to the field. This compendium is vital for students and scientific researchers in all fields of scientific endeavors, including non-chemists. 2013 Honorable Mention in Chemistry & Physics from the Association of American Publishers' PROSE Awards Presents a systematic coverage of all known alkaline earth inorganic compounds and their properties Provides a clear, consistent presentation based on groups facilitatating easy comparisons Includes the structure of all the compounds in high quality full-color graphics Summarizes all currently known properties of the transition metals compounds Lists the uses and applications of these compounds in electronics, energy, and catalysis

Emphasises on contemporary applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach that helps students discover the exciting potential of chemical science. This book incorporates fresh applications from the three major areas of modern research: materials, environmental chemistry, and biological science.

Containing chemical, physical and structural data on 45,000 organometallics, this new edition of Dictionary of Organometallic Compounds is completely reviews and expanded. All compounds from the first edition have been reviewed, new references from the recent chemical literature have been added. Interesting new compounds, which have appeared in the literature from 1985 to 1993, have also been incorporated. A unique new feature is the Index of Synthetic Reagents, which groups compounds according to their use in synthetic organic chemistry. Compounds included: - organometallics representing all important structural types - compounds with an established use, such as orignard reagents, catalysts, starting materials, laboratory chemicals Type of information included: - accurate systematic chemical names, tradenames, trivial names - CAS Registry numbers - molecular formulae and weights - details on synthesis/preparation - uses in synthetic organic chemistry - physical data including melting/boiling points, solubility, magnetic susceptibility - concise bibliography

Explains the characteristics of alkaline earth metals, where they are found, how they are used by humans, and their relationship to other elements found in the periodic table.
