There are a number of books and articles on general aspects of the coordination compounds of mercury annual surveys are published in Coordination Chemistry Reviews5 and the Annual Reports on the Progress of Chemistry, Section A (Inorganic Chemistry—Mercury).6 McAuliffe s book The Chemistry of Mercury covers the literature up to May 1975.7 The coordination chemistry of mercury(II) halides has been summarized by Dean, covering papers up to 1977.8 A review of dimercury(I) coordination compounds was published by Brodersen in 1981,9 and in the same year Grdeni6 reviewed bonding in the crystal structures of mercury compounds.10... 

A series of reviews on S-donor hgands has been published and these are referred to in the appropriate sections below. Reviews on general aspects of S-coordination chemistry have appeared, while inorganic texts give good, general overviews on the subject. Comprehensive accounts of S-donor ligands have been pubhshed. A...

Another area in which considerable recent activity is beginning to give some sort of consistent pattern is that of solvent effects on reactivity of transition metal complexes, both for substitution and for redox reactions. The general aspects of initial state and transition state contributions to such solvent effects have been well reviewed by Buncel and Wilson,though their examples are drawn almost exclusively from organic chemistry. A similar but somewhat briefer treatment of inorganic systems, perforce concentrating on transition metal complexes, has also appeared.This review amplifies and extends an earlier outline of this... 

The following discussion on health and safety aspects of titanium compounds is concerned only with the behavior of the titanium present in inorganic compounds and not with the effects of the compounds themselves. For example, titanium tetrachloride must be treated with care because of the effects of the hydrochloric acid and heat produced when it reacts with water, not because of the possible toxicity of titanium. Apart from very few exceptions, the inorganic compounds of titanium are generally regarded as having low toxicity. Because of the ubiquitous nature of the element and its compounds, average concentrations of titanium in blood have been determined at 130—160 Fg/L (182—184), with a typical value of 10 Fg/L in urine (185). 

The control of chemical reactions (e.g., esterification, sulfonation, nitration, alkylation, polymerization, oxidation, reduction, halogenation) and associated hazards are an essential aspect of chemical manufacture in the CPI. The industries manufacture nearly all their products, such as inorganic, organic, agricultural, polymers, and pharmaceuticals, through the control of reactive chemicals. The reactions that occur are generally without incident. Barton and Nolan [1] examined exothermic runaway incidents and found that the principal causes were ...
