Although a considerable amount of data has now been reported concerning the physical and chemical properties of inorganic compounds containing the trifluoroacetate group, little attempt has been made previously to report and examine these properties in a systematic manner. This review will attempt to do this and to show that, although trifluoroacetate is a member of the carboxylate family, it has individual characteristics which lead to some unique and interesting chemistry. 

The hydrogen halides (HX) make up one of the most important classes of inorganic compounds, containing the halogens in the -1 oxidation state. They are prepared in a number of different ways. 

Peracids. Peracids are compounds containing the functional group —OOH derived from an organic or inorganic acid functionaHty. Typical stmctures include CH2C(0)OOH derived from acetic acid and H0S(0)200H (peroxymonosulfuric acid) derived from sulfuric acid. Peracids have... 

Ventron A process for removing mercury from aqueous wastes containing organic mercury compounds. Chlorine is passed in, converting organic mercury compounds to inorganic compounds, and the mercury is then reduced to the metallic state with sodium borohydride. 

The structural and chemical diversity of compounds containing the Si-N-P linkage is a result of both the variety of coordination numbers which phosphorus may assume and the reactivity of the Si-N bond. The combination of these features gives Si-N-P compounds very promising synthetic utility, particularly in the area of inorganic polymer synthesis. 

The present book devotes a lot of space to the synthesis of the most important inorganic compounds and the chemistry of the elements. Since the book contains a large number of experiments and syntheses, they cannot be performed by the students during the time allotted for practical work, and the authors have divided the laboratory works of each chapter into two parts. The first describes the obligatory experiments, and the second, supplementary experiments and syntheses.
