Primarily, the aim of this book is to provide a reference work for senior students and research workers engaged in the synthetic aspects of chemistry.

The success of the first edition of this book has encouraged us to revise and update it.

This book is intended to provide a fundamental basis for the study of the interaction of polymers with living systems, biochemicals, and with aqueous solutions.

In recent years many research workers have turned their attention to the quantitative characterization of complex compounds and reactions of complex-formation in solution.

In the last twenty years the literature on the processes of ionic polymerization has reached such a level that there is not a single question which is not covered by the information contained in the many monographs, reference books, and textbooks in this field.

Nearly three years have passed since the publication of the original Russian edition, in which time there have appeared various papers on recent research on the transuranium elements, of which the most notable concern the production of element 105 at Dubna and Berkeley.

Since the early 1930's, Soviet chemists have played a lead- ing role in the study of unfamiliar oxidation state compounds of the peroxide, superoxide, and ozonide types.

Adhesives in general and structural adhesives in particular are the subjects of much academic interest as well as commercial importance.

This book contains the proceedings of the Symposium on FT-IR Characterization of Polymers, which was held under the auspices of the Division of Polymer Chemistry, American Chemical Society (ACS) during the annual ACS meeting in Philadelphia, August, 1984.

The ever-increasing importance of chemical reactions at high and superhigh temperatures in crystalline, amorphous, and semicrystalline SOlids, as well as the reactions of these solids with gases, prompted the authors of this book to examine critically the literature available in this field and to present a general review of the subject.

This book is about compounds such as the boron hydrides and associated metal hydrides and alkyls which acquired the label 'electron deficient' when they were thought to contain too few valence electrons to hold together.

This volume contains a series of papers originally presented at the Symposium on Polymer Gels organized and sponsored by the Research Group on Polymer Gels,The Society of Polymer Science of Japan and co-sponsored by the Science and Technology Agency (ST A) and MIT!

A wonderfully successful NATO Advanced Study Institute on "e;Sulfur-Centered Reactive Intermediates in Chemistry and Biology"e; was held 18-30 June, 1989, at the Hotel Villa del Mare in Maratea, Italy.

Low dimensionality is a multifarious concept which applies to very diversified materials.

The field of gas phase inorganic ion chemistry is relatively new; the early studies date back approximately twenty years, but there has been intense interest and development in the field in the last ten years.

The first concern of scientists who are interested in synthetic polymers has always been, and still is: How are they synthesized?

After the success of the previous summer schools organized by the Nuclear Physics Division of the Netherlands' Physical Society in 1975 and 1977, we thought it worthwhile to continue this tradition.

To the surprise of practically no one, research and engineering on multi- polymer materials has steadily increased through the 1960s and 1970s.

In May of 1978, several hundred of the friends, colleagues and former students of Professor Herbert C.

This book deals with selected aspects of structural chemistry, concentrating particularly on molecular and Raman spectroscopy.

The three natural streams of present-day chemistry are Structure, Dynamics and Synthesis and all these three elements are essential for the study of materials, particularly in the solid state.

During the course of far-infrared investigations of inorganic and coordina- tion compounds at Argonne National Laboratory in the years 1962-1966, it became apparent that no suitable book existed which correlated and dis- cussed the important vibrations occurring in this region for these molecules.

One of the characteristics of the development of chemical science in the middle of the present century is the vigorous pro- gress of the "e;third chemistry,"e; which is often named now the chemistry of heteroorganic compounds.

With the development of accurate molecular calculations in recent years, useful predictions of molecular electronic properties are currently being made.

The volume "e;Nanocomposite and Nanohybrid Materials: Processing and Applications"e; is an outstanding resource for exploring the findings and recent trends of nanocomposites and nanohybrid materials.

"e;This new book is by two knowledgeable and expert popularizers of chemistry and deals exclusively with molecules and compounds rather than with the simpler atoms and elements.
