Description
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.
