Thin-layer Chromatography

by Arnold Weissberger and etc.

Published 1 January 1978
This work is the result of cooperation between four colleagues, who have been working in the field of thinlayer chromatography for many years and who took an active part in its development. It is intended as an introduction to the method, a reference and laboratory handbook. This, the first part consists of a detailed treatment of the fundamentals, measurement techniques and apparatus for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of thinlayer chromatograms.

This book explains the various factors, particularly the chemical nature of the molecules, which influence and control the solubility of an organic compound in a particular solvent, especially organic solvents, mixed organic solvents, water and aqueous solutions. The book also explains how to predict the solubility of an organic compound in the solvents mentioned above. Furthermore, the book similarly treats the partition (distribution) coefficient of an organic compound between two relatively immiscible solvents. Thus solubility behaviour comprises both solubility and partitioning between two solvents. This book provides an understanding of concepts of solubility behaviour and practical means for predicting solubilities, partition coefficients and dissolution rates.

Organic Solvents Physical Properties and Methods of Purification, Fourth Edition (Volume II in the Techniques of Chemistry series, Edited by Arnold Weissberger) Edited by John A. Riddick, William B. Bunger, and Theodore K. Sakano This fourth edition updates and expands the material of the 15-year-old third edition. Besides revising the physical properties of preparation techniques for previously noted solvents, over 150 new solvents nave been added, many selected to complete groups of isomers and expand homologous series listed in the previous edition. Several isomeric and homologous series are initiated here, including the xylenols, chlorinated toluenes, xylidenes, picolines, lutidines, and silanes. 1986 (0 471-08467-0) 1,325 pp. Physical Methods of Chemistry Volume One: Components of Scientific Instruments and Applications of Computers to Chemical Research, Second Edition Edited by Bryant W. Rossiter and John F. Hamilton Now in a revised Second Edition, the classic Physical Methods of Chemistry series is an independent 8-volume set which surveys the most prevalent methods of determining a wide variety of physical properties of matter.
Volume One presents general laboratory techniques common to many of the specific physical methods that are detailed in subsequent volumes. An excellent new work that also serves as a resource of information on a spectrum of components, tools, and techniques that are often used but rarely treated comprehensively in one book. 1986 (0 471-08034-9) 834 pp. Volume Two: Electrochemical Methods, Second Edition Edited by Bryant W. Rossiter and John F. Hamilton Volume Two presents a thorough, up-to-date survey of the applications of electrometric methods in chemical systems. Following an introductory chapter on electrochemical theory common to all electroanalytical methods, it provides information on the latest techniques, especially those with broad applications, including polarography. 1986 (0 471-08027-6) 904 pp.

Many exciting new developments in microwave spectroscopy have occurred since the earlier edition of this book was published in 1970. The frequency coverage of coherent microwave spectroscopy is still expanding. Although not comparable to the fourfold expansion that occurred in the 17 years preceding the 1970 edition, the millimeter wave range has been extended from 800 GHz to above 100 GHz since 1970. Subtle new techniques continue to improve the sensitivity and resolving power of microwave spectrometers as well as their applicability to new types of spectra. Although the spectra described in the earlier edition are in no sense out of date, the new developments made the revision of Microwave Molecular Spectra desirable if not necessary. Because the authors could not justifiably delete nor significantly reduce the basic material of the earlier edition, a moderate expansion of the volume was necessary to achieve an adequate coverage of microwave molecular spectra in the 1980's.

A large and detailed volume on the design and control of the molecular character of electrode surfaces. Leading research scholars have contributed material dealing with the development and understanding of molecularly designed electrodes. Topics include: catalysis at coated electrodes, clay and zeolite layers, adsorption on electrode surfaces, electronically conducting polymers and more.
