Inorganic Chemistry of the Main-group Elements

Abstract

Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.

Tellurium, the Forgotten Element: A Review of the Properties, Processes, and Biomedical Applications of the Bulk and Nanoscale Metalloid

“…The chloride is especially useful in organic synthesis since when added to alkenes, can give Cl-C-C-TeCl3 derivatives (N. Petragnani and Comasseto 1991). Tellurium tetrafluoride (TeF4) is a stable and hygroscopic crystalline solid that can give rise to tellurium oxide after reaction with water or silica (King 1977) Organic compounds of tellurium. Tellurium forms organic compounds, but with less efficiency and number that selenium and sulfur, due to its metalloid nature.…”

High-temperature spectrophotometry of indium chloride vapours as a method of study of the In – Se system

“…В расчетной работе 2020 г [7] T-x-диаграмма системы In -Se дается без этих двух фаз. Еще более запутанной видится ситуация с протяженностями областей гомогенности и, в частности, с пределами температурной стабильности селенидов индия [5,6].…”
