This book is the third supplement to the NBS Special Publication 366. It
contains about 600 references and covers the literature from June 1975 through June 1978. Compilation of Rate Constants for the Reactions of Metal Ions in Unusual Valency States. G. V. Buxton and R. M. Sellers. 80 pages. 1978. $2.40. SD No.: 003-003-01882-1
Kinetic data are compiled for reactions of uncommon oxidation states of metals that are produced by radiolysis of aqueous solutions of metal ions. Most of the reactions are for transient species, and the rates are determined by pulse radiolysis. 1978 Indexes to EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Data Base and Volumes I—IV. S. R. Heller and G.W.A. Milne. Index, 6 6 1 ; Volume I, 1001; II, 1009; III, 1001; IV, 1013 pages. 1978. $65/5 part set. SD No.: 003-003-01987-9
A collection of 25 556 verified mass spectra of individual substances compiled from the EPA/NIH mass spectral file is presented. The spectra are given in bar graph format over the full mass range.
EXPANDABLE. ANY TIME. With the McPherson 700, you only need to buy modules when your work expands. Not a whole new spectrophotometer. You can have enzyme kinetics, stopped flow kinetics, automatic sampling, gel scanning, computer interfacing, whatever your work needs. Just buy the functions as you need them. Call (617) 263-7733, and we'll spec and quote a McPherson 700 configured your way. Or write McPherson Instruments, GCA/Precision Scientific Group, 530 Main Street, Acton, Mass. 01720.
