Burger Kálmán: Coordination chemistry. Experimental methods (Budapest, 1973)

COORDINATION CHEMISTRY: EXPERIMENTAL METHODS by K. BURGER The volume deals with the methods of structural investigation finding increas­ingly wide-spread application in coordi­nation chemistry, such as UV and IR spectrometry, Mössbauer spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurements, NMR and ESR spectrometry, X-ray structural analysis, thermal analysis (TG, DTG, DTA), measurements of optical rotatory power and circular dichroism. In each case, the principles and experi­mental technique of the methods are briefly discussed; the author’s further endeavour has been to give a thorough presentation of the scope of applications of the various methods in coordination chemistry. This purpose is served by many well-selected examples taken from the recent literature illustrating the infor­mation obtainable by the use of the methods. Special mention must be made of the chapter dealing with the Mössbauer effect, which treats the use of this method in coordination chemistry with a complete­ness befitting a monograph. Results of the author’s own researches constitute an important part of the sub­ject matter. AKADÉMIAI KIADÓ Publishing House of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest
