Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry: Volume 1 Second Edition

This part of the book describes special methods and devices for inorganic preparations . We do not intend to presentacompre hensive, thorough compilation of all the known methods of preparative inorganic chemistry , such as given in handbooks. An enterprise of that kind would require too much space, and the appropriate books are already available. Even through the several-volume treatise by Stock, Staehler, Tiede and Richter is by now partly outdated, many references , methods and descriptions of apparatus, useful for solving experimental problems , can be found in specialized books, such as those by Von Angerer , Dodd and Robinson, Grubitsch, Klemenc, Kohlrausch, Lux and Ostwald-Luther [1], to name but a few. These texts can thus be consulted when the need arises .
