Handbook of Inorganic Compounds

For anyone that needs property data for compounds, CASRN numbers for computer or other searches, a consistent tabulation of molecular weights to synthesize inorganic materials on a laboratory scale, or information on commercial and other uses for various compounds, this volume is the perfect reference. This second edition is fully revised and updated. New data include optical inorganics, radiation detection inorganics, thermochromic compounds, piezochromic compounds, metal ion coordination complexes, expanded crystallographic and structural data for inorganics, catalysts, superconductors, and luminescent (fluorescent and phosphorescent) inorganics.

Dale L. Perry received his PhD in inorganic chemistry from the University of Houston, Houston, Texas. He was a Welch Postdoctoral Fellow and a National Science Postdoctoral Fellow at Rice University. He was a Miller Fellow in chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, California. He has been on the scientific staff in chemistry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of California, being appointed a Senior Scientist in chemistry at the same institution. He has edited and authored several books, including Instrumental Surface Analysis of Geologic Materials, Applications of Analytical Techniques to the Characterization of Materials, and Applications of Synchrotron Radiation Techniques to Materials Science. In addition to research, he has been an adviser and a member of several ad hoc panels in the area of instrumentation related to heavy metals, their chemistry, and materials science for several U.S. Government agencies. He is an organizer of symposia and workshops concerning inorganic and materials research that includes the synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials and the application of various types of spectroscopy to those materials In addition to research, he has been a member of several ad hoc panels for the U.S. Department of Energy related to instrumentation needs in both heavy metal chemical research and research as it pertains to heavy metals, their chemistry, and materials science related to them. He is an organizer of symposia concerning the application of spectroscopy to materials research, synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials, and the application of surface spectroscopy to materials studies.
