This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised and some major rearrangements of text have been made. Selected highlights from the past five years have been added and a special chapter dealing with major applications has been included. The book deals with all aspects of phosphorus chemistry: organic, inorganic, biochemical, physical, environmental and technical. While much of the text is of a basic and introductory nature, modern theories and recent developments are covered. Like its predecessors, it is intended for use beyond first-year university undergraduate level. It should enable anyone with a reasonable knowledge of general chemistry to acquire the necessary groundwork before undertaking detailed searching of the literature or reading highly specialised reviews. The book could also serve as a reference text and as a guide to advanced study for research workers and technologists with interests in related fields such as food chemistry, agricultural chemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, ceramics, materials science, electronics, minerals and mining.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

Over two decades have passed since the fifth edition of Phosphorus: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Technology. Major advances in chemistry, materials science, electronics, and medicine have expanded and clarified the role of phosphorus in both our everyday appliances and groundbreaking research. Significantly expanded, updated, and reorganized, this sixth edition organizes and explains vital phosphorus research and relevant information available in highly specialized reviews and references on select related topics.

An authoritative and comprehensive review of phosphorus chemistry and related technology, Phosphorus: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Technology covers historical, academic, industrial, agricultural, military, biological, and medical aspects of phosphorous. Furthermore, it offers a starting point for more extended studies of the highly specialized branches of phosphorus chemistry.

Although this book deals with a small fraction of the > 106 known phosphorus compounds, it thoroughly covers the simpler derivatives and most key compounds of economic, sociological, and biological importance. Extensively updated and expanded with tables, figures, equations, structural formulae, and references, it is ideal for scientists in related fields seeking a rapid introduction to phosphorus chemistry.
