Crystal Chemistry of Condensed Phosphates / Edition 1

by A. Durif

Overview

In this reference, the author thoroughly reviews the current state of condensed phosphate chemistry. A unique feature of this volume is an examination of the recent developments in X-ray structural techniques, reporting on fundamental results obtained through their use. Enhanced by comprehensive tables reporting crystal data, chapters identify and characterize more than 2,000 compounds. Additional features include a concise survey of the historical development of condensed phosphate chemistry; the presently accepted classification system; a review of each family of condensed phosphates and much more.

Editorial Reviews

Reviews the historical development and the current state of crystal chemistry of the five major classes of condensed phosphates and some of the various families within the classes. Recognizing that the fundamental chemical properties and behavior of most of the compounds are not yet known, even for some of the most important synthesis reagents, provides the latest verified information on such aspects as methods of preparation and the geometries and internal symmetries of atomic arrangements. Covers oligophosphates, long-chain polyphosphates, cyclophosphates, mixed-anion phosphates, and ultraphosphates. A chapter also discusses the characteristic tetrahedron. Annotation c.
