A number of excellent general texts are available that describe nuclear medicine and radiopharmaceuticals and the various technologies that underlie both (1—6). 

Many reviews detailing aspects of the chemistry of initiators and initiation have appeared.2 45 46 A non-critical summary of thermal decomposition rates is provided in the Polymer Handbook41 43 The subject also receives coverage in most general texts and review s dealing with radical polymerization. References to reviews that detail the reactions of specific classes of initiator are given under the appropriate sub-heading below. 

A general text with a number of relevant chapters. 

General texts on GC are numerous [118,119] narrow-bore GC was addressed by van Es [120]. Sample introduction techniques and GC inlet systems have been reviewed [25,90] and split/splitless [121] and on-column injection [122] were considered specifically. Stationary phases [123], multiple detection [103], derivatisation [124,125], and quantitative analysis in GC [109] have been described. High-speed GC has recently been reviewed [126]. For a compendium of GC terms and techniques, see Hinshaw [127]. 

Himmelbau (1995) or any of the general texts on material and energy balances listed at the end of Chapter 2. The Ponchon-Savarit graphical method used in the design of distillation columns, described in Volume 2, Chapter 11, is a further example of the application of the lever rule, and the use of enthalpy-concentration diagrams. 

Also worth a glance is Practical Skills in Chemistry, by John R. Dean, Alan. M. Jones, David Holmes, Rob Read, Jonathan Weyers and Allan Jones, Prentice Hall, Harlow, 2002. Being a general text, the techniques required by the experimental physical chemist occupy a relatively small proportion of the book. 

The fundamental physical chemistry of monolayers was worked out several decades ago by Langmuir, Harkins, Rideal, Adam, Schul-man, and others. In an excellent monograph, Gaines (38) has summarized the history and the state of knowledge up to 1966 of monolayers at air-liquid interfaces. Other good accounts of the subject can be found in several more general texts on surface chemistry (39-43). None, however, includes a discussion (or even a reference) to chirality in monolayers. 

Pattern recognition has received an Increasing amount of well deserved attention from chemists In recent years. Several excellent review articles on chemical appllcatlons(11-13) and a number of general texts have been published.(14-17)... 

Probably the most comprehensive general text on hreworks is the book by the Rev. Ronald Lancaster and co-contributors Fireworks -Principles and Practice, 3rd Edition) and I am grateful to him for discussing my book with me and for giving permission to quote some of his formulae. 

Reflection on this example leaves us with the impression that even with the simplest of rate forms the analysis is quite involved. It suggests that it is not worthwhile in this general text to try to treat more complicated rate forms. 

These are general texts on colour chemistry that contain material on topics from several of the chapters in this book. 

In an introductory general text such as this, it is impossible to do justice to the plethora of physical techniques which are currently available to the solid state chemist. We have therefore concentrated on those which are most widely available, and on those which examine bulk material rather than surfaces. For these reasons, we have not covered Mossbauer spectroscopy, electron spectroscopies (XPS, UVPS, AES, and EELS) or low... 

D. M. P. Mingos, Essential Trends in Inorganic Chemistry, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1998. A new look at trends in physical and chemical properties of the elements and their compounds. This is a general text that would cover the material of most university courses in inorganic chemistry apart from some specialized topics, but is recommended here for the sections on atomic and molecular structure. 

The pKa value for pentazocine listed in general texts as 8. 6 (24) or 8.95 (2) is the tertiary amine protonation constant. Borg and Mikaelsson however have shown that two ionizations for pentazocine should be considered. First the pentazocinium ion loses the proton from the nitrogen and then the phenolic proton is lost at higher pH. This is pictured in Scheme 3 where two separate intermediates are possible the neutral pentazocine base (III) and a zwitterionic form (II). 

A growing number of books, some of a specialized nature, are available on chemometrics. A brief summary of the more general texts is given here as guidance for the reader. Each chapter, however, has its own list of selected references. 

Martens and Martens produced a recent text which gives quite a detailed discussion on how multivariate metiiods can be used in quality control [14], but covers several aspects of modern chemometrics, and so should be classed as a general text on chemometrics.
