Infrared spectroscopy has proven to be a most useful tool in structural determination and identification of organic compounds. This method of analysis has the advantage of being rapid and unambiguous, it can easily be applied to small quantities of sample, and is accessible to most organic chemists because of the availability of low- cost infrared spectrometers. For these reasons, over the last 30 years large numbers of standard spectra of organic compounds have been collected and catalogued, and are presently available for reference. In contrast, relatively few infrared spectra of inorganic compounds are available for reference, and no present collection covers both the mid- and far-infrared regions from 3800 to 45 cm-1. The present work is intended to help fill this void by presenting a comprehensive compendium of reference spectra of inorganic compounds.

Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.

"The third edition of Transition Metals in the Synthesis of Complex Organic Molecules is a comprehensive revision and significant expansion of the second edition, but the clear and systematic approach to the formation, manipulation, and reactivity of organometallic complexes has been maintained. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as all practicing synthetic organic chemists. It is written for organic chemists and offers an easy entry into the field of organo-transition metal chemistry without requiring background knowledge in inorganic chemistry."--Jacket.

"This book offers insight into how to design and carry out solid-phase organic synthesis (SPOS), with an emphasis on the fundamentals for synthesizing organic molecules. Highlighting key developments and applications, bioimaging probes and sensors, asymmetric synthesis, dendritic molecules, diversity oriented-synthesis, library design and combinatorial chemistry. The book presents a thorough overview of basic concepts of the field of SPOS, and is targeted at researchers (professionals, students, and faculty) in organic and medicinal chemistry, and anyone involved in synthetic organic chemistry, such as pharmaceuticals, crop science, chemical manufacturing"--
