Plethora of Information on Nonaqueous Chemistry
Physical Chemistry of Organic Solvent Systems. A. K. Covington and T. Dickin son, Eds. χ + 823 pages. Plenum Pub lishing Corp., 227 West 17th St., New York, N.Y. 10011. 1973. $30
Reviewed by I. M. Kolthoff, Depart ment of Chemistry, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minn. 55455 The editors start the preface as fol lows: "We believe this to be the first monograph devoted to the physicochemical properties of solutions in or ganic solvent systems (italics by me). Although there have been a number of books on the subject. . . ." Advance ment of techniques and of the theory of nonaqueous analytical, inorganic, and organic chemistry demands an understanding of and acquaintance with nonaqueous physical chemistry. For this reason, the present mono graph, which is primarily concerned with physical chemistry of electrolytic solutions, is of great usefulness to all chemists interested in nonaqueous chemistry. Each of the seven chapters presents a concise, critical, and clear discussion of the physical chemistry of a particu lar subject (property) with a generous number of tables giving numerical data, comments on technique, and in terpretation of results. At the end of most chapters an appendix tabulates selected numerical data. Both text and appendix contain an abundance of ref erences to the literature. Actually, this book is a collection of a large number of monographs. To impress the reader with the wealth of information to be found, the following breakdown of "contents" is given. Chapter 1. Introduction and Sol vent Properties (also includes purifi cation) by A. K. Covington and T. Dickinson, 17 pages; appendix, 4 pages Chapter 2. Thermodynamic Mea surements. Part I, Solubility, Calorimetry, Volume Measurements, and Viscosities by C. M. Criss, 104 pages
(treatment of experimental data, 12 pages; results, 25 pages; 208 refer ences, 5 pages; appendix, 63 pages). Part 2, Electrochemical Measure ments by M. Salomon, 84 pages (52 pages text, 31 pages appendix). Part 3, Precision Cryoscopy by R. Garnsey and J. E. Prue, 31 pages. Part 4, Inter pretation of Thermodynamic Data by C. M. Criss and M.

Part 2, Transference Numbers by M. Spiro, text, 54 pages; appendix, 21 pages. Part 3, Ionic Con ductances by M. Spiro, text, 24 pages (181 references); appendix, 11 pages Chapter 6. Reaction Kinetics and Mechanism by D. W. Watts, text, 56 pages (253 references) Chapter 7. Electrode Processes. Part 1, The Electric Double Layer by R. Payne, 12 pages. Part 2, Electrode Reactions by D. R. Brown, 33 pages Subject Index, 40 pages. Consid ering the broad scope of this text, this extensive index is particularly wel come. Depending on his field of specializa tion, the analytical chemist will find that all chapters contain much of in terest. For the electroanalytical chem ist, Chapters 5 and 7 are of particular interest, whereas the specialist in acid-base titrations finds much valu able information in King's excellent
chapter, "Acid-base Behaviour." Al though nothing but deserved praise has been expressed so far, it is custom ary in a review to mention some short comings. In a book of such a broad scope as this, one is likely to find top ics which, although they deserve at tention, are not mentioned. For exam ple, resolution of acid band base strength, dimsyl solutions in DMSO, and diprotic acids are not discussed in Chapter 3. The exceptionally low price of this outstanding book is such that workers in the field of nonaqueous chemistry will want to own a copy. This reviewer will keep a copy on his desk for regular consultation. Nonaqueous Electrolytes Handbook, Vol I. G. J. Janz and R. P. T. Tomkins. xiii + 1 1 0 8 pages.

This last section not only updates some of the tables in Volume I and presents data with references which had been omitted in Volume I but also contains additional references relative to various sections in Volume II. For the user of the handbook, it • would have been preferable to have this appendix available in loose form in two sections, one for Volume I and one for Volume II. The method of presentation and the symbols used are explained in the preface to each section. Each volume concludes with a compound index, one by solvent and one by solute. "Non aqueous" refers to organic solvents and their mixtures or mixtures with water; inorganic solvents and fused salts are not considered. The section on electrical conduc tance covers 745 pages with six sub sections. Some obvious errors in some of the tables may be pointed out, e.g., in the first subsection each table has, among others, one heading, "specific conductance (mho-cm - 1 ) Χ 10 8 ," but in some instances "10 8 " has been ig nored (e.g., dioxane is listed as 5 X 10~ 7 , probably instead of 50). The analytical chemist will find much of interest in these volumes, particularly in the section on EMF data (205 pages) which concludes with three subsections on potentiometric titrations, and in the section on polar ography (also 205 pages) which, with "Electrical Double Layer," logically could have followed the EMF section. Since it is impossible to cover poten tiometric titrations within a reason able number of pages, reference is made in a footnote of the preface to W. Huber's book and to the Analytical Reviews in A N A L Y T I C A L C H E M I S
TRY. This reviewer regrets that no reference is made to the monograph by I. Gyenes which is the most com plete to be found in the literature. A more logical and space-saving arrange ment of numerical data in the section "Polarography" would have been pos sible. These comments do not detract from the great value of having togeth er in the handbook almost complete data of physicochemical properties re ported in the widely scattered litera ture. The editors and the contributors deserve the gratitude of chemists working in the field. The handbook would also be a very helpful source of information for an enterprising scien tist who would want to enrich the lit erature with a set of critically selected data.

Reviewed by Edward G. Brame, Jr., Elastomer Chemicals Department, E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Wil mington, Del. 19898 According to G. C. Pimentel who wrote the foreword to this book, "the matrix isolation method has now been in active development for almost two decades" but "the method has un doubtedly had its greatest impact in the infrared spectral studies, the subject of this book." The editor writ ing in the preface states that "this monograph is intended to provide a survey of studies of the vibrational spectra of species trapped in solid ma trices." Nine chapters are included in the book. They cover not only the in frared studies that were pioneered by Pimentel and Porter in the early 1950's, but also the more recent devel opments using laser Raman spectros copy. The first chapter in the book covers the background of the method and also a summary description of the other chapters. It was written by the editor. The next chapter, also written by the editor and a colleague at the University College of Swansea, covers the different experimental methods that can be used in performing the in frared or Raman studies at low tem peratures.

tor describes in a rather extensive way the different infrared studies that have been performed on molecules trapped in low-temperature matrices. Beginning with a description of the matrix effects involved, he goes on to describe the studies performed on dia tomic, triatomic, tetra-atomic, and polyatomic molecules. Chapter 4 was written by another colleague at the University College of Swansea, A. J. Barnes, on the theoretical aspects of matrix effects. He describes the vari ous interactive effects which can cause vibrational shifts, for example. Chapter 5, written by L. Andrews of the University of Virginia, covers the infrared spectra of free radicals and chemical intermediates that can be observed by this method of trapping them in low-temperature matrices. The next chapter, written by A. Snelson of the Illinois Institute of Tech nology, describes the work that has been done on various halides, oxides, hydroxides, metaborates, nitrates, etc., by infrared following the vapor ization of these molecules from being trapped in low-temperature matrices. Chapter 7, written by W. F. Sherman and G. R. Wilkinson of King's College in London, describes the infrared and Raman studies that have been per formed on impurities in ionic and covalent crystals. In addition, they make a broad distinction in their discussion between point or atomic defects in a solid which are the defect-distorted vi brations of that solid and polyatomic defects which are the defect-distorted vibrations of the solid, plus those extra effects resulting from their in trinsic vibrational and rotational mo tion. Chapter 8, by D. C. McKean of the University of Aberdeen, describes in a rather short account the work that has been done by infrared and Raman on clathrates. The term clathrate is de fined as that condition when a small molecular species, the "guest," is en closed completely within a cage by a crystal lattice of the "host" species. Examples and results are given in the account. Chapter 9 (the last), written by G. A. Ozin of the University of To ronto, covers the use of Raman spec troscopy in matrix isolation. It in cludes the advantages, the limitations, and the results that can be obtained from the use of this method. The book gives a good account of the work that has been done in the field of infrared and Raman studies of trapped species. There are few errors. One I noticed is that the sentence on top of page 122 does not follow direct ly from the end of the sentence at the bottom of page 121. The book can be recommended to anyone interested in the field as well as those involved in cryo studies.

Reviewed by Harry E. Keller, Depart ment of Chemistry, Northeastern University, Boston, Mass. 02115 The area of computer-assisted (or aided or augmented) instruction, CAI, is growing rapidly as the cost of hard ware plummets and software sophisti cation increases. Because of these two factors, educators should familiarize themselves with the use of computers as an adjunct to the instructional pro cess. The two-part volume reviewed here provides a good introduction to the various facets of CAI and could well be used by anyone desiring to know its capabilities and limitations over a broad span of applications in chemistry education. The chapters are individually au thored, primarily by people with expe rience in CAI. They give many exam ples from their own experience of how CAI can be used and frequently in clude sample computer programs. The editors caution the reader that there may be some overlap between chap ters, and it is surprising how little overlap actually occurs. There are many separately authored sections, and they are discussed separately here. Both parts of the volume are in cluded in this review, but the reader should recognize that they are avail able separately. Part A begins with a very short chapter which serves as an introduc tion to the volume. Chapter 2 is long and thorough. Replete with examples, it presents many approaches to the use of computers for curriculum en hancement. Costs are analyzed, and a good case is made for teaching stu dents to program in an interactive lan guage. For those having analog computer systems available, Chapter 3 provides an in-depth discussion of the princi ples of analog and hybrid computa tion. Before reading the chapter, one should become familiar with the sym bols in the appendix. Also, the author leaves teaching applications, for the most part, to the imagination of the reader. The fourth chapter is called "On line Classroom Computing," but
might have been called "Computation as a Lecture Aid." After a nuts-andbolts section on how to display com puter output in the classroom and the values of such display, a number of computer programs are shown and discussed. The lecture display of printed computer output in an inter active mode can reduce the studenthour load on CAI and, occasionally used, can stimulate increased lecture participation by students. Neverthe less, this reviewer believes that direct student interaction is likely to have a greater positive effect on performance and is to be preferred when possible. The chapter on information storage and retrieval is well-written and cov ers the subject from the user point of view. Although such knowledge is use ful to chemists, it is unclear how it fits into a book on CAI. The editors state, "As the volume of chemical literature is expanding at an enormous rate, it is important that computerized informa tion storage and retrieval practice . . . be introduced to the students . . . ." The last chapter in Part A analyzes the cost of a 150-terminal CAI system. The result is about $1.02 per terminal hour for the parameters used. In summary, the meat of Part A is in Chapters 2-4, and if you have no analog system, you probably will be reading Chapters 2 and 4 for their practical values and the others only for general interest. If you do not have experience in CAI and are contem plating entering the area, you will find the information stimulating and help ful. However, you may find Part Β of Volume Four even more so. Part Β is subtitled "Applications." For the individual who has a timeshared computer system available and wants to use it to augment the teach ing process, Part Β offers practical suggestions and examples based on considerable experience. While each chapter relates examples demon strated on a specific system, it is clear that the approaches presented are implementable on several systems. Thus, the knowledge gained by reading Part Β falls into two areas: types of com puter systems available for CAI and examples of uses to which CAI sys tems can be put. The first chapter describes the ap plication of APL to analysis of labora tory experiment results. Rapid feed back to the student on the results of an experiment appears to be benefi cial, and the computer can do the grading and record-keeping too. The second chapter describes PLATO, a computer-based teaching system. The application is organic chemistry in struction. Ideas on CAI in organic chemistry as well as general lessonplanning strategies for PLATO-like systems are given. The next chapter
Books discusses physical chemistry instruc tion using FORTRAN. Together, these three chapters constitute Sec tion I of Part B. Section II includes several uses of the computer to provide an extra di mensionality to teaching. These in clude repeatable tests, homework preparation and grading, use of pre pared programs by students, and or ganic qualitative analysis simulation. None of these uses of computers is likely to strain or cramp the teaching situation. Ideas from all of the chap ters in Section II can be merged and used in a single course. The writing is generally clear in this section, and there are sufficient examples to illus trate the concepts presented. Overall, this two-part Volume Four of "Computers in Chemical Instru mentation" is well written and infor mative. Part Β appears to contain a greater quantity of useful material. There are many typographical errors, but this reviewer had no difficulty in resolving them. It is good to have a collection of articles on CAI for chem ists such as this one available, and it would be even better if it were widely read and the ideas put into practice.
Seventy Percent New or Revised Material Interpretation of Mass Spectra. Second edition. F. W. McLafferty. xix + 278 pages. W. A. Benjamin, Inc., Reading, Mass. 01867. 1973. Paperbound. $7.50
Reviewed by K. Biemann, Depart ment of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass. 02139 The second edition of McLafferty's introductory text to the interpretation of mass spectra reflects the polishing effect of the use of the first edition in the many short courses the author has conducted during the past few years and for which it was originally written. The publisher's description states that this revised, enlarged, and reset edi tion consists of 70% of new or substan tially revised material. This has been accomplished without changing the general outline, trend, and philosophy. The changes enhance the clarity of the discussion, add some different and better examples, and incorporate find ings and developments that have oc curred in this fast moving field since the first edition went to press. The volume was increased from 230 to 278 pages which, when combined with the slightly larger format of the

Books book, gives a good estimate of the larger content. Fortunately, the author has made a determined effort not to merely add all the new information that has become available, but rather to select those aspects that are most important for the purpose of this book. To a certain extent the choice also reflects his personal interests, such as the theoretical aspects of unimolecular ion decomposition reactions (Chapter 8), which may be of little interest to the majority of the audience to which the book is directed, while relegating important new experimental developments like chemical ionization mass spectrometry to a single paragraph hidden under the heading "Other techniques for molecular weight determination" and given the same attention as the use of the rate of effusion, an obscure special purpose technique. The most useful parts of this book are the large number of well-chosen examples of spectra that are discussed in detail, as well as the unknowns for which the solutions are discussed in equal detail in Chapter 9. One may at a first glance feel that the examples are too simple, because the vast majority of the compounds are of molecular weight less than 200, and indeed a large fraction are below 100. But one has to keep in mind that this text is directed mainly at those who have little or no prior experience in the interpretation of mass spectra but wish to acquire it through a short course or on their own, in addition to its use in introductory undergraduate or graduate courses. Once someone has gone through all the examples and mastered all the unknowns, he will certainly be in a position to successfully interpret his own mass spectra. The practitioner will easily notice that all the spectra shown in the book are those of pure compounds carefully recorded and edited and accompanied by tabular relative abundance values down to 0.01%. This is rarely achieved in practice but is necessary if one follows the author's approach of first calculating the elemental composition of the molecule from its isotope peaks. Although the relationship of the abundance of the isotopic species to the number and kind of elements in the molecule is discussed in every textbook, one finds in practice that mass spectra determined under realistic laboratory conditions are generally unsuitable for this purpose. It is understandable that this approach is used for didactic purposes in this book which addresses itself to
classroom situations relatively detached from the chemical inferences of the problem at hand. Thus, while the user will soon find that the assignment of elemental formulas discussed in Chapter 2 is highly unreliable for the direct computation of the number of carbons, nitrogens, and oxygens for a molecule of reasonable complexity, he will realize that the background information that is always available, for example, the origin and the chemical characteristics of the sample, provides other input which narrows down the possible compositions for a particular molecule. The reader will be able to make that transition when he starts to work on experimental mass spectra if he has avoided becoming too dependent on the computation of elemental formulas from isotope peaks. As in the first edition, a good part of the text is devoted to the fragmentation processes, but these are now greatly expanded and arranged in Chapter 6 according to common compound classes. This chapter, which covers 80 pages, now makes it much easier for the reader to appreciate the structure specificity of mass spectra. In general, the book is clearly written and relatively free of typographical errors. One may argue with some of the statements like the requirement that the molecular ion must be the ion of highest mass in the spectrum and that it must be an odd-electron ion. First, the isotope peaks are of higher mass, and second, the number of electrons cannot be determined from the mass spectrum of an unknown compound; thus, one cannot use it in the identification of the molecular ion. Most of the typographical errors are recognizable by the reader without confusion and range from the misplacing of arrows or dots indicating electrons to missing atoms like a nitrogen in Equation 6-52. More puzzling may be the statement that toluene-dj yields an ion C 7 H 5 D 2 (page 193). The references are a curious mixture of books, chapters, and review articles and references to original papers sometimes in obscure and unaccessible journals. The former may guide the reader who wishes to go beyond what is discussed in the text. The latter appear randomly chosen and often do not refer to the most complete or original publication. This second edition of the "Interpretation of Mass Spectra" will, like the first, be the textbook of choice for introductory courses or for a reader who wishes to become familiar with the interpretation of mass spectra in the course of his own work. In spite of the large number of books dealing with mass spectrometry, McLafferty's is by far the most useful one for this purpose. The author has clearly sum-

marized the basic principles and illustrated them well with abundant simple examples. In general, he managed not to be sidetracked by the details which would intrigue the advanced worker in this field but only confuse the beginner to which this book is successfully directed. The admirably low price of the book will further aid its use and distribuion.
On the Instruction of Laboratory Managers Laboratory Organisation and Administration. K. Guy. xi + 527 pages. Crane, Russak & Co., Inc., 52 Vanderbilt Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017. 1973. $22.50
Reviewed by Edward C. Dunlop, Central Research Department, E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., Wilmington, Del. 19898 This book deals with the organization and administration of laboratory facilities for instruction of laboratory managers. It is a second edition, and I am unfamiliar with the earlier book. The first three chapters are concerned with equipment and material for the construction of a laboratory building. They represent a fairly good summary, but more up-to-date information can be obtained from equipment suppliers. The description of laboratory services is fairly good, but one noticeable omission is the use of a steam vacuum jet for the laboratory vacuum system. The section on stores items includes a number of unusual things such as shipping instructions, handling of live animals, and postal regulations. However, these would not be pertinent for the United States. A table on available filter papers is a good source of information. Chapters 4-6 deal with reagents and laboratory maintenance and safety; a number of excellent points are recorded for the teaching of individuals who look forward to having the responsibility of maintaining university science buildings. The reference to perchloric acid does not appear to be sufficient to insure safe use by university students or inexperienced personnel. In general, the chapter on safety is good, and especially the tables on disposal of chemicals represent an important collection. The section on special needs of a teaching laboratory covers items of personal equipment, some special facilities, and recovery of some expensive items such as silver, platinum, and mercury. A chapter is devoted to optical projection which is complete but probably more than required for this type of book. It gives a variety of projection techniques, but normal laboratories
Books
would not have this general requirement. Records, demonstrations, and exhibits are described briefly to show what is required in maintaining a laboratory. The remainder of the book has to do with the training of technicians, how to keep experimental records, and the use of technical literature. These are brief but present enough on the subject to give the basic material required. The book will be most valuable for the person who has no experience and finds himself in the position of having to plan for a laboratory building. I was disappointed that the author did not include more information on technical administration and believe the experienced laboratory person will find this book of little use.

This multivolume work is intended to provide a central source of information on the latest techniques available to materials analysts and to give the reader both theoretical and practical knowledge of a broad range of instrumental methods for a complete analysis. The initial chapter focuses on the selection of analytical methods based on specimen limitations and the information desired. Detailed flow charts list and arrange the entire spectrum of analytical instrumentation to permit the selection of the best method(s). Subsequent chapters focus on specific instruments with emphasis on the practical application of each method, including sample requirements, selectivity, sensitivity, and data output. This first volume covers alpha-particle spectrometry, Auger electron spectrometry, electron diffraction—high energy (HEED) and low energy (LEED), electron microprobe, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry, fluorometry, infrared spectrometry, and liquid chromatography.
