Chromatography for Inorganic Chemistry Molecular Magnetism Olivier Kahn. VCH: New York, NY, 1993. xvi + 380 pp. Figs. and tables. 16.3 x 24.3 cm. $95.00. This book is a comprehensive exposition of both the experimental and theoretical aspeets of this new field of research. The basic concepts concerning magnetization and magnetic susceptibility are introduced; the fundamental equations of molecular magnetism are developed: and molecules containing a unique magnetic center, including the high-spin law-spin transition compounds are examined. The book highlights polymetallie species, reviews the phenomenon of interaction between spin carriers from a theoretical point of view, and includes numerous examples throughout to illustrate the topics discussed.

This book provides a unified presentation of the chemistry of non-stoichiometrie compounds, based an statistical thermodynamics and structural inorganic chemistrv. It should be useful to undergraduate students and to research& interested in solidstate chemistrv and ohvsics.
Michael Lederer Wiley: New York. NY. 1994. vi + 221 pp. Figs. and tables. 15.8 x 23.6 cm. $49.95. Our knowledge of inorganic chemistry is based in part on the use of chromatographic and electrophoretic methods over the last 50 years. This volume pmvides a comprehensive account of the techniques developed. Extensive use of examples can he found in the hook, which also gives the reader an insight into the solution chemistry of inorganic compounds and the species that exist in aqueous solution.
Biological Mass Spectrometry Present and Future Takekiyo Matsuo, Richard M Caprioii, Michael L. Gross, and Yousuke Seyama, Editors. Wiley: New York. NY. 1994. xxi + 666 pp. Figs. and tables. 16.3x 23.6 cm. $180.00. This book provides an up-to-date review of mcdern biological mass spectrometry and an introduction to the instrumentation and applications currently being used. Asurvey is included an the most recently developed techniques, including ESI, MALD, LC/MS, ion trap and FTIICR. The hook contains contributions from well-respected researchers with practical experience. It should be useful far researchers using mass spectrometry in biochemistry, protein chemistry, pharmacology, molecular hiolagy, and analytical chemistry hy presenting bath state-of-the-art applications and expected developments in this rapidly expanding area.
