Readers should also have gained some appreciation of how to design and conduct their own mechanistic investigations, even though experimental techniques per se were not emphasized. They will also have come to appreciate what data should be gathered to supplement the kinetics. There are many tricks of the trade on the practical side, only some of which I have cited. Many precautionary measures were mentioned here, and a further source is Pitfalls in Kinetics [Bunnett, J. F. In Investigation of Rates and Mechanisms of Reactions, 4th ed. Bemasconi, C. F., Ed. Techniques of Chemistry, Wiley-Interscience New York, 1986 Vol. VI, Part I, pp 229-246].

A major treatise devoted to experimental methods of chemistry is Techniques of Chemistry , edited first by Weissberger, and then by Saunders, Wiley, New York. This publication, which began in 1970, so far consists of 21 volumes, most of them in several parts, covering such topics as electrochemical and spectral methods, kinetic methods, photochronusm, and organic solvents. Techniques of Chemistry is a successor to an earlier series, called Techniques of Organic Chemistry , which appeared in 14 volumes, some of them in more than one edition, from 1945 to 1969.
