Reviews, annual, literature

General surveys of advances in coordination chemistry appear in Annual Reports , The Royal Society of Chemistry, London, Section A. More specialized reports were published in the form of the Specialist Periodical Reports Inorganic Chemistry of the Transition Elements , The Chemical Society, London (Volumes 1-6), which reviewed the literature published between 1971 and 1976, and the Specialist Periodical Reports Inorganic Chemistry of the Main Group Elements , The Chemical Society, London (Volumes 1-5), which reviewed the literature published between 1971 and 1976. Both these series have now been discontinued. 

Thermal effects on aquatic organisms have been given critical scientific review. Annual reviews of the thermal effects literature have been published beginning in 1968 (12). Water temperature criteria for protection of aquatic life were prepared by the NAS in 1972, and these criteria have formed the basis of the EPA recommendations for estabUshing water temperature standards for specific water bodies (13,14). 

The chemistry of the class of furan heterocycles has heen covered in Rodd s Chemistry of Carbon Compounds <1997RCC(4)283>, and the current literature has heen reviewed annually since 1995 by Friedrichsen and more recently by Hou et al. in Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry. 

There seems to be no stemming the flow of the primary literature, and the appearance of Volume 1 of the Chemical Society s Specialist Periodical Report on Organometallic Chemistry will be welcomed by all. Further details of this book, which covers both Main Group and Transition Metal derivatives, can be found in Section B. The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry continues to expand, with 1972 seeing the publication of thirteen volumes (34-46), which include subject reviews, annual reports, and preliminary communications, as well as the usual selection of papers. Fortunately it is now possible to purchase the individual volumes given over to the annual reviews. 

Annual review of literature on fats, oils, and soaps, includes patents. 

Chemical food and biochemical and nutritional journals contain technical literature on edible oils. The American Oil Chemists Society publishes a monthly journal which contains an annual literature review. Publications on methods of sampling and testing are discussed as are abstracting services. The author recommends numerous books for specific information and a few for establishing a small technical library. 

Annual Review of Genomics Human Genetics. Palo Alto CA Annual Reviews. Annual. ISSN 1527-8204. Analytic reviews of published literature. 

As in the two previous chapters, the surveys edited by Kosolapoff and Maier and those in Houben-Weyl should be consulted for early references. Some older references are included here only if they are considered to be of particular relevance or historical importance. Other related aspects have been reviewed elsewhere, and short bibliographies have been provided for many individual compounds mentioned herein. The present survey is concerned mainly with the literature from about 1960 to mid-1994, and which is also reviewed annually ... 

This chapter reviews the literature up to approximately January 1984. Previous comprehensive reviews of the chemistry of zirconium and hafnium are available, and annual surveys of the inorganic and coordination chemistry of these elements have been published since 1981 The present treatment emphasizes the chemistry of discrete, isolable complexes, although some attention has been given to the extremely complex aqueous solution chemistry of Zr and Hf. In general, zirconium forms slightly more stable complexes in solution than does hafnium stability constants may be found in standard compilations.In cases where the structural chemistry of discrete complexes is closely related to that of chain, layer or extended three-dimensional structures, the discussion of the discrete complexes has been set in the broader context the section on fluorometallate complexes is a case in point. Organometallic compounds of zirconium and hafnium have been excluded almost entirely. 

The eighth volume iri this annual series of Specialist Periodical Reports on organometallic chemistry reviews the literature for the calendar year 1978. 

Since 1982 more than 100 review articles have appeared on various aspects of photo-polymerization. Applications as well as fundamental aspects are reviewed annually in the Specialist Periodical Reports on Photochemistry The chapters on Polymer Photochemistry in these reports contain a section on photopolymerization as well as a review of,parts of the patent literature. 

Heterocyclic Chemistry is an annual publication which combines material previously reviewed in three separate SPR titles Saturated Heterocyclic Chemistry, Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Chemistry, and the heterocyclic sections of Organic Compounds of Sulphur, Selenium, and Tellurium. Heterocyclic Chemistry has now reached its fourth volume, which reviews the literature published on the subject during the period July 1981 to July 1982. 

This chapter lists some representative examples of biochemicals and their origins, a brief indication of key techniques used in their purification, and literature references where further details may be found. Simpler low molecular weight compounds, particularly those that may have been prepared by chemical syntheses, e.g. acetic acid, glycine, will be found in Chapter 4. Only a small number of enzymes and proteins are included because of space limitations. The purification of some of the ones that have been included has been described only briefly. The reader is referred to comprehensive texts such as the Methods Enzymol (Academic Press) series which currently runs to more than 344 volumes and The Enzymes (3rd Edn, Academic Press) which runs to 22 volumes for methods of preparation and purification of proteins and enzymes. Leading referenees on proteins will be found in Advances in Protein Chemistry (59 volumes. Academic Press) and on enzymes will be found in Advances in Enzymology (72 volumes, then became Advances in Enzymology and Related Area of Molecular Biology, J Wiley Sons). The Annual Review of Biochemistry (Annual Review Inc. Patio Alto California) also is an excellent source of key references to the up-to-date information on known and new natural compounds, from small molecules, e.g. enzyme cofactors to proteins and nucleic acids. 

Extensive secondary literature coverage of fluonne NMR data is available for articles published through 1981 Massive amounts of fluonne data were comptled in penodic reviews in Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] and in two volumes of Progress in NMR Spectroscopy [10, 11] Books wntten by Dungan and Van Wazer [12] and Moonev [13], both published in 1970, are still widely referenced today The majonty of %-NMR data compiled were from highly fluormated and perfluorinated compounds... 

Another publication is the Index of Reviews in Organic Chemistry , complied by Lewis, Chemical Society, London, a classified listing of review articles. The first volume, published in 1971, lists reviews from 1960 (in some cases much earlier) to 1970 in alphabetical order of topic. Thus four reviews are listed under Knoevenagel condensation , five under Inclusion compounds , and one under Vinyl ketones. There is no index. A second volume (1977) covers the literature to 1976. Annual or biannual supplements appeared from 1979 until the publication was terminated in 1985. Classified lists of review articles on organometallic chemistry are found in articles by Smith and Walton and by Bruce.A similar list for heterocyclic chemistry is found in articles by Katritzky and others.See also the discussion of the Index of Scientific Reviews, page 1638. 

Cyclophosphazenes are a fascinating group of inorganic heterocyclic compounds whose chemistry is multi-faceted, well developed and reasonably well understood. They are closely related to the linear poly-phosphazenes this relationship is unlike any other existing between ring-polymer systems. Although cyclic siloxanes and polysiloxanes have a close interrelationship, the number and types of cyclophospha-zene derivatives that are known, together with their exact counterparts in polyphosphazenes, underscore the utility of cyclophosphazenes as models for the more complex polyphosphazenes. The literature on cyclophosphazenes has appeared earlier in the form of books (1,2), chapters of books (3-5), authoritative compilations of data (6,7), and several reviews (8-21). The current literature on this subject is reported annually in the Specialist Periodic Reports published by the Royal Society of chemistry (22). This review deals mostly with chlorocyclo-... 

Hydraulic pressure stimulation (fracturing) of oil and gas wells has now accumulated 40 years of history and experience. The actual practice and application of this technique supports a multi-billion dollar service industry which annually utilizes in excess of 130 million pounds of chemical additives. This chapter will describe the fracturing fluids that are used and some of the additives, their purpose, and the principles that make their use effective as well as necessary. Information presented will update a body of review literature that covers the prior years of fracturing(1). Chemicals are added for specific purposes which are identifiable by their descriptive title. Veatch02) has compiled a thorough general list of the additives added to fracturing fluids. 

As might be expected, the literature associated with studies of polymorphism and solvatomorphism has grown in proportion to the interest in the field. As a result, an annual review of the area has been initiated, and will be continued in succeeding volumes in the Profiles series. The citations in this article are drawn primarily from the major pharmaceutical and crystallographic journals, and therefore are not represented to be comprehensive. However, they should represent the bulk of work that was conducted with pharmaceutical interest in mind. 

Annual survey of photochemistry, Wiley-Interscience, New York, N. Y. Three volumes of this annual review have been published. The latest, Vol. 3 (1971) covers the literature of 1969. 

The 1,2,3-thiadiazole literature was extensively reviewed in CHEC(1984) <1984CHEC(6)447> and CHEC-II(1996) <1996CHEC-II(4)289>. It covered the literature up to 1996 and cited many excellent references to 1,2,3-thiadiazoles. A further review on the chemistry of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles, which gives a critical review of methods of synthesis and is accompanied by experimental procedures, appeared in Science of Synthesis <2004HOU(13)253>. Another review of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles also appeared in 2004 . An annual review of the chemistry of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles appears in Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry (Chapter 5.5). This review covers the 1,2,3-thiadiazole literature up to 2006. 

Probably the most extensive use of particle morphology and microscopy has been in the area of chemical microscopy. With this approach, derivatives of the analyte species are prepared, crystallized, and identified through the morphological characteristics of these derivatives [21]. Most of these applications have been superseded by modem methods of analysis, but the microscopic method can still be used by skilled practitioners for the study of trace quantities of analyte. The literature developed during the heyday of chemical microscopy is too large to be reviewed here, but advances in the field are still chronicled in the Annual Reviews issue of Analytical Chemistry [22]. A substantial review of the optical characteristics of organic compounds is available [23]. 

Fluorine thermochemistry itself has not been previously reviewed, but has tended to be included in more general reviews and reports, or in data compilations (141,123,151). The most comprehensive literature survey, covering the years 1949-1961 (9), supplements the N.B.S Circular and Notes (203). (N.B.S. Technical Notes 270-3 to 270-7 issued from 1969-1973 were unfortunately published without literature references.) Subsequent work was conveniently traced from annual issues of the Bulletin of Chemical Thermodynamics, and from 1977 to 1979 (May) by accessing the Chemical Abstracts data files. Experimental aspects of fluorine thermochemistry are included in two rather dated volumes (214), and only general detail will be given in this review.
