Summary
Summary
Organized to facilitate reference to the reagents involved, this book describes the reactions of the elements and their mostly simpler compounds, primarily inorganic ones and primarily in water. The book makes available some of the more comprehensive coverage of descriptive aqueous chemistry found in older sources, but now corrected and interpreted with the added insights of the last seven decades.

Choice Review
Although water is a molecule with a deceptively simple composition, it has an incredibly rich and interesting chemistry. Rich (Bluffton Univ.) explores that complexity by describing the aqueous chemistry of all the elements. The result is an impressive tour de force that integrates recent research, including reactions of newly discovered elements, with reevaluated information from the older standard references. Unlike some advanced inorganic works, the emphasis here is upon chemical reactions, rather than theoretical approaches (although the chapters are organized based on the groups of the periodic table). This organization is probably more useful for the practicing synthetic chemist than for an undergraduate student, who is still trying to systematize this wealth of information. One minor complaint is the use of terms such as "oxidane," "oxonium," and "dioxygen." Although these are IUPAC-recommended names, they are not yet commonly used, and it would be helpful if they were included in the index. One must admire the thoroughness of this presentation, but the most likely audience is probably rather narrow--mainly synthetic inorganic chemists. Summing Up: Recommended.
