[资源] Chemistry of the Element

When this book first appeared in 1984 it rapidly established itself as one of the foremost textbooks and
references on the subject. It was enthusiastically adopted by both students and teachers and has already
been translated into several European and Asian languages. The novel featues which it adopted (see
Preface to the First Edition) were clearly much appreciated and we have been pressed for some time
now to bring out a second edition. Accordingly we have completely revised and updated the text and
have incorporated over 2000 new literature references to work which has appeared since the first edition
was published. In addition, innumerable modifications and extensions incorporating recent advances
have been made throughout the text and, indeed, no single page has been left unaltered. However, by
judicious editing we have ensured that all the features which made the first edition so attractive to its
readers have been retained.
The main plan of the book has been left unchanged except that the general section on organometal-
lic chemistry has been removed from Chapter 8 (Carbon) and has been incorporated, together with a
summary of other aspects of coordination chemistry, in a restyled Chapter 19. However, the chemistry
of even the simplest elements has been considerably enriched during the past few years, sometimes by
quite dramatic advances. Thus the chemistry of the alkali metals has a complexity that, was undreamt
of one or two decades ago and lithium, for example, is now known in at least 20 coordination
geometries having coordination numbers from 1 to 12. Compounds of alkali metal anions and even
electfides are known. Likewise, there is expanding interest in the organometallic chemistry of the
heavier congeners of magnesium, particularly those with bulky ligands. Boron continues to amaze
and confound, and its cluster chemistry continues to expand, as does sulfur-nitrogen chemistry, het-
eropolyacid chemistry, bioinorganic aspects of the chemistry of many of the elements, lower-valent
lanthanide element chemistry, and so on through each of the chapters, up to the synthesis and char-
acterization of the heaviest trans-actinide element, Z = 112. It is salutory to reflect that there are now
49 more elements known than the 63 known to Mendeleev when he devised the periodic table of the
elements.
A further indication of the rapid advances that have occurred in the chemistry of the elements
during the past 15 years can be gauged from the several completely new sections which have been
added to review work in what were previously both nonexistent and unsuspected areas. These include
(a) coordination compounds of dihapto-dihydrogen, (b) the fullerenes and their many derivatives, (c) the
metcars, and (d) high-temperature oxide superconductors.
We hope that this new edition of Chemistry of the Elements will continue to stimulate and inform its
readers, and that they will experience something of the excitement and fascination which we ourselves
feel for this burgeoning subject. We should also like to thank our many correspondents who have kept
us informed of their work and the School of Chemistry in the University of Leeds for providing us with
facilities.
