Coordination Chemistry, Vol 1. A r t h u r E. Martell, Ed. xxii + 577 pages. Van N o s t r a n d Reinhold Co., 450 West 33rd St., New York, N.Y. 10001. 1971. $32.50
This first volume of a three-volume series, designed to serve as a useful source of information and a cumulative treasury of new developments in the field of coordination chemistry, presents a fundamental and basic study of the bonding spectroscopy and chemical properties of metal complexes. Besides covering recent advances in the field, it describes significant early developments. The objective is to encompass the entire field and to present all important infor mation, irrespective of publication date. This book is No. 168 of the American Chemical Society's Series of Chemical Monographs.

This volume is intended for the chemist who has an understanding of the principles of proton magnetic resonance, but who wishes to acquire a ready familiarity with the characteristic appearance of the basic proton types. It is intended to serve as a concise instructional manual and also as a handbook of reference spectra. The book contains twelve sections which are systematically arranged by chemical class, similar to the format used in organic chemistry textbooks. Each section begins with a brief introduction describing the chemical shifts, coupling constants, and other special features which are typical of the class under consideration. Selected spectra are included in each section to illustrate characteristic absorbance patterns. There is also a brief commentary concerning the significant features of each spectrum. Spectra of 480 different compounds plus spectral data in tabular
