Books in the Studies in Inorganic Chemistry series

The work is aimed at scientists in universities and in industry using any of the six platinum group metals in research. It will be useful for those studying the compounds of the metals themselves, and those considering to use either the metals or their complexes and catalysts in their experimental work.

This text describes the structures and structural relationships of the calcium orthophosphates, including the apatites. Their preparation, crystal growth and dissolution, chemical reactions, IR, Raman and NMR spectra and various physical properties are discussed.

Provides information on the subject of phosphors and luminescence. This book talks about the many types of displays which depend upon phosphors in their operation. It includes information on such light sources as incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps and the ubiquitous colour Cathode Ray Tube used in TV and computer monitors, and more.

Covers both the early use of artificial lighting and manufacturing methods concerning incandescent and fluorescent lamps. This work discusses the protocols for manufacture of fluorescent lamp phosphors and those used in cathode ray tubes. It offers a description of the formulations and methodology for manufacturing all known phosphors.

Highlights the biological activity and applications of boron containing compounds. This book surveys the general features of the subject, while exploring novel strategies for preparing certain chemical and natural boron products that are of significant substance in medicinal chemistry. It presents concepts and methods in simple scientific terms.
