Inorganic analytical chemistry organic analyte studies

Gas chromatography is one of the most active areas of analytical chemistry, but many references in GC will be found in sources other than just chromatography or analytical chemistry. Thus, literature searches should take one to the journals on topics where GC may be utilized, for example, journals of biochemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, catalysis, environmental studies, drug analysis, forensic chemistry, petroleum chemistry, inorganic chemistry. 

Electrochemistry is a scientific discipline with a well developed system of theories and quantitative relationships. It has many applications and uses in both fundamental and applied areas of chemistry—in the study of corrosion phenomena, for example, for the study of the mechanisms and kinetics of electrochemical reactions, as a tool for the electrosynthesis of organic and inorganic compounds, and in the solution of quantitative analytical problems. This last area will be emphasized in the next four chapters. 

The school-founding Hungarian professors of chemistry of the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries participated in study journeys abroad, wrote excellent textbooks and carried out research on an international level in the fields of physical chemistry, analytical and inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, agricultural chemistry and industrial chemistry. The Hungarian pharmaceutical industry reached international fame. The important steps of the... 

In all of these applications, the emphasis to date has been on the use of lasers to study chemically and physically well characterized systems, that is, simple molecules in the gas phase, or in ordered phases such as molecular crystals, or in cryogenic matrices. There are exceptions to this statement, but the basic fact is that the great strides in chemical applications of lasers have been made by the chemical physics and analytical chemistry communities and largely ignored by inorganic, organic, and biological chemists. 

As a branch of chemistry, the activities of nuclear chemists frequentiy span several traditional areas of chemistry such as organic, analytical, inorganic, and physical chemistry. Nuclear chemistry has ties to all branches of chemistry. For example, nuclear chemists are frequently involved with the synthesis and preparation of radiolabeled molecules for use in research or medicine. Nuclear analytical techniques are an important part of the arsenal of the modem analytical chemist. The study of the actinide and transactinide elements has involved the joint efforts of nuclear and inorganic chemists in extending knowledge of the periodic table. Certainly, the physical concepts and reasoning at the heart of modem nuclear chemistry are familiar to physical chemists. In this book we will touch on many of these interdisciplinary topics and attempt to bring in familiar chemical concepts.
