Volume xi

The following section entitled Notice to Contributors provides a detailed characterization of the present editorial policy. It should be noted that manuscripts are no longer submitted directly to the editor-in-chief but to the secretary to the Editorial Board, who is Dr. S. Kirschner, Department of Chemistry, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan 48202. Volume XI is being edited by Dr. W. L. Jolly, and he will be succeeded by Dr. R. W. Parry for Volume XII.

Many carbon compounds, e.g. hydrocarbons, ketones, organic acids, bases and esters, dissolve in arsenic trichloride with formation of additive or complex compounds. The organic derivatives of arsenic are described in Volume XI, Part II, of this Series. Trialkyl arsines are formed by the addition of alkali to the double salts obtained by the interaction of zinc dialkyls and arsenic trichloride—... 

The Editor would draw attention to the unsatisfactory state of the nomenclature of organometallic compounds in general. The designations of compounds in Volume XI. are those used in the original memoirs, since any attempt to alter these in a work of that description would only complicate matters. 

A TEXT-BOOK OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY VOLUME XI. PART IV. 

The Formula Index, as well as the Subject Index, is a cumulative index for Volumes XI through XIV. The chief aim of this index, like that of other formula indexes, is to help in locating specific compounds or ions, or even groups of compounds, that might not be easily found in the Subject Index, or in the case of many coordination complexes are to be found only as general entries in the Subject Index. All specific compounds, or in some cases ions, with definite formulas (or even a few less definite) are entered in this index or noted under a related compound, whether entered specifically in the Subject Index or not. As in the latter index, boldface type is used for formulas of compounds or ions whose preparations are described in detail, in at least one of the references cited for a given formula. 

The arrangement of the syntheses in the first part of Volume XIV is divided into three chapters, namely, Phosphorus Compounds, Non-Transition-Metal Compounds, and Transition-Metal Compounds. The reader is advised to seek particular compounds in the subject or formula indexes. The indexes at the end of this volume are cumulative from Volume XI through Volume XIV.
