Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique used to identify unknown compounds, to quantify known materials, and to elucidate the structural and chemical properties of molecules. Inorganic mass spectrometry focuses on the analysis of metals and elements rather than organic compounds. Applications of Inorganic Mass Spectrometry describes developments in mass spectrometric instrumentation, together with applications in metrology, nuclear science, cosmochemistry, geoscience, environmental science, and planetary science.

Divided into two parts, the first part of the book reviews the...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the first type of chemicals that were ever discovered to cause cancer in humans. They are found in cigarette smoke, in barbecued and smoked foods, in automobile and Diesel engine exhaust, fireplace smoke, and many other common things that people are exposed to. Analyzing for PAHs in the environment is important in identifying potential sources of cancer exposure and eliminating these as risks. The smaller PAHs, those of lower than 300 molecular weight, have been the most studied and have also been covered in several books. No books have dealt with...

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a procedure for separating components from a mixture of chemical substances; a combination of separation, identification, and quantitative measurements. Solvent selection is perhaps the most commonly overlooked parameter in HPLC. Even the most experienced analytical chemist tends to select one of three familiar solvents. The HPLC Solvent Guide provides detailed coverage of all commonly used HPLC solvents used in a wide range of separations.

HPLC is a mature but substantial market, and one that Wiley reaches successfully and well. The...

This book is based on the George Fisher Baker Lecture given by Jean-Michel Saveant at Cornell University in Fall 2002.
* The first book focusing on molecular electrochemistry
* Relates to other fields, including photochemistry and biochemistry
* Outlines clearly the connection between concepts, experimental illustrations, proofs and supporting methods
* Appendixes to provide rigorous demonstrations to prevent an overload of algebra in the main text
* Applications-oriented, focused on analyzing the results obtained rather than the methodology

A comprehensive, integrated view of separation science

Introduction to Separation Science offers a unified treatment of the fundamentals and practical applications of separation. The book places an emphasis on laboratory and analytical separations and takes this unified approach to address the fact that practical applications in separation have been developed and used in a variety of unrelated disciplines. The result is a complete overview of separation techniques within these varied, disparate areas of practice, providing the perfect guide to the reader who wishes to...

Coordination chemistry is the study of compounds formed between metal ions and other neutral or negatively charged molecules.

This book offers a series of investigative inorganic laboratories approached through systematic coordination chemistry. It not only highlights the key fundamental components of the coordination chemistry field, it also exemplifies the historical development of concepts in the field.

In order to graduate as a chemistry major that fills the requirements of the American Chemical Society, a student needs to take a laboratory course in inorganic chemistry. Most...

For the analyses of DNA and RNA, high pressure/performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is proving extremely useful as trace and ultratrace analyses can provide potentially helpful data for diagnostic studies. This text deals with both analyses, executed at or below ppm level, and with on-column injection at low microgram or nanogram level. A variety of applications, studies and methods are used as focal points for discussion, along with theoretical and equipment considerations.

Over the past three decades, luminescence spectroscopy has transcended its origins as a curiosity in the physical laboratory to become a widely used and respected staple of the analytical chemist's instrumentation arsenal. Fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and phosphorescence spectroscopies are now routinely applied to such real analytical problems as the quantitaion, qualitative identification, and structural characterization of organic and inorganic compounds and even of cellular structures. And the list of recent advances in analytical applications of luminescence spectroscopy keeps...
