21LTEX MINIATURE VALVES AMD FITTINGS
from Eric Mooney. Under its new edi torship, the emphasis of the series is on the review of nuclei other than pro ton, rather than the general review of N M R . Volume 7 contains three review chapters, the first two of which u p d a t e previous chapters by the same authors in Volume 5B. In Chapter 1, R. Fields devotes his fluorine-19 N M R review to fluoroalkyl and fluoroaryl derivatives of transition metals. M. Witanowsky and his coworkers cover in Chapter 2 all of the nitrogen N M R literature t h a t appeared between 1972 and 1976. Chapter 3 on spin-spin coupling inter actions between carbon and first row nuclei is contributed by Roderick E. Wasylishen.

T h e purpose of the series is to com pile the various GC and G C / M S pro cedures from existing literature. In Volume 3 the literature is surveyed, in approximate chronological order, through 1975 for the analysis of anti psychotic, antiemetic, and antidepres sant drugs and their metabolites. T h e book is intended for the analyst who is thoroughly familiar with the princi ples of GC and GC/MS; thus, the em phasis is on the specific application of these techniques. Some procedures are reviewed in sufficient detail to allow duplication without further reference. Chapter 1 covers procedures for drugs such as phenothiazine, butyrophenone, and thioxanthene derivatives t h a t are antipsychotic and antiemetic drugs. Chapter 2 covers procedures for antidepressant drugs, which include monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricy clic antidepressants, and several relat ed compounds. T h e book is a good quality photo-offset copy of typewrit ten text.
