Handbook of Data on Common Organic Compounds
(The Handbook of Data on Common Organic Compounds provides...)
The Handbook of Data on Common Organic Compounds provides physical property data, spectral data, and chemical structures for approximately 12,000 common organic compounds. These compounds encompass the most commonly used both in industry and laboratories, as well as those found on various lists of regulatory concern. A clear, easy-to-read format and three indexes- CAS Registry Number, Molecular Formula, and Name/Synonym-enhance the Handbook's usability and help make it a bestselling resource relied upon by researchers, chemists, and students around the world.

A Century of Excellence in Measurements, Standards, and Technology
(Established by Congress in 1901, the National Bureau of S...)
Established by Congress in 1901, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), now the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), has a long and distinguished history as the custodian and disseminator of the United States' standards of physical measurement. Having reached its centennial anniversary, the NBS/NIST reflects on and celebrates its first century with this book describing some of its seminal contributions to science and technology. Within these pages are 102 vignettes that describe some of the Institute's classic publications. Each vignette relates the context in which the publication appeared, its impact on science, technology, and the general public, and brief details about the lives and work of the authors. The groundbreaking works depicted include: • A breakthrough paper on laser-cooling of atoms below the Doppler limit, which led to the award of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics to William D. Phillips • The official report on the development of the radio proximity fuse, one of the most important new weapons of World War II • The 1932 paper reporting the discovery of deuterium in experiments that led to Harold Urey's1934 Nobel Prize for Chemistry • A review of the development of the SEAC, the first digital computer to employ stored programs and the first to process images in digital form • The first paper demonstrating that parity is not conserved in nuclear physics, a result that shattered a fundamental concept of theoretical physics and led to a Nobel Prize for T. D. Lee and C. Y. Yang • "Observation of Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Dilute Atomic Vapor," a 1995 paper that has already opened vast new areas of research • A landmark contribution to the field of protein crystallography by Wlodawer and coworkers on the use of joint x-ray and neutron diffraction to determine the structure of proteins

Basic Laboratory and Industrial Chemicals: A CRC Quick Reference Handbook
(Basic Laboratory and Industrial Chemicals presents data o...)
Basic Laboratory and Industrial Chemicals presents data on 1,000 high-profile chemical substances commonly used in the laboratory and workplace. A wide range of properties is provided for each compound, including the basic physical properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and critical temperatures; density; transition properties, such as vapor pressure and heats of vaporization and fusion; and the thermodynamic properties, viscosity, and thermal conductivity at 25°C. Molecular properties such as dipole moment and ionization potential are also included. Tables appear in alphabetical order by chemical name, and all data are taken from evaluated sources. This book eliminates the need to consult voluminous sources for frequently needed data on the most common chemicals, making it an essential reference for all scientists, engineers, and students.

Names, Synonyms, and Structures of Organic Compounds (v. 1-3)
(Names, Synonyms, and Structures of Organic Compounds prov...)
Names, Synonyms, and Structures of Organic Compounds provides critical information on the identity of chemicals and allows easy cross referencing among the diverse nomenclatures used by the various scientific disciplines. The compounds selected include most common organic compounds: pesticides, alternative refrigerants, priority pollutants, and other compounds of commercial and environmental importance. This excellent reference provides names, synonyms, molecular formulas, and CAS Registry Numbers for 27,500 organic compounds. The compendium contains 135,000 synonyms and 20,000 chemical structures. Compounds are arranged in ascending order of CAS Registry Numbers. For your convenience, Names, Synonyms, and Structures of Organic Compounds is indexed both by Name/Synonym and Molecular Formula. For all researchers, students, librarians, and professionals working with chemicals, Names, Synonyms, and Structures of Organic Compounds is a must! It is particularly useful to anyone working with organic compounds who has a common or trade name of a compound and needs to determine its CAS Registry number.
