Phosphorus: An outline of its chemistry, biochemistry, and technology (Studies in inorganic chemistry)

This latest edition extends the coverage of the 1985 edition which was described as ``...a remarkably comprehensive and well-refined survey of all aspects of the chemistry of phosphorus.''(Journal of Applied Crystallography). Since then, the importance and relevance of phosphorus compounds has continued to increase over ever-widening fields of science and technology. The aims of this greatly expanded fourth edition remain the same: to deal with the basic material and to highlight more recent advances. The book has been extensively revised and much of the material which has been added is from the literature covering the period from mid-1984 to mid-1989. There is no other book with such a comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of the whole realm of phosphorus chemistry. It is an ideal starting point for anyone entering the field and wishing to acquire a specialised knowledge of the subject. Like its predecessors, it continues to be invaluable as a source book for post-graduate specialised courses.

This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised and some major rearrangements of text have been made. Selected highlights from the past five years have been added and a special chapter dealing with major applications has been included. The book deals with all aspects of phosphorus chemistry: organic, inorganic, biochemical, physical, environmental and technical. While much of the text is of a basic and introductory nature, modern theories and recent developments are covered. Like its predecessors, it is intended for use beyond first-year university undergraduate level. It should enable anyone with a reasonable knowledge of general chemistry to acquire the necessary groundwork before undertaking detailed searching of the literature or reading highly specialised reviews. The book could also serve as a reference text and as a guide to advanced study for research workers and technologists with interests in related fields such as food chemistry, agricultural chemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, ceramics, materials science, electronics, minerals and mining.

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, agricultural, military, biological, and medical aspects of phosphorous. Furthermore, it offers a starting point for more extended studies of the highly specialized branches of phosphorus chemistry.  Although this book deals with a small fraction of the > 106 known phosphorus compounds, it thoroughly covers the simpler derivatives and most key compounds of economic, sociological, and biological importance. Extensively updated and expanded with tables, figures, equations, structural formulae, and references, it is ideal for scientists in related fields seeking a rapid introduction to phosphorus chemistry.
