Details the characteristics of the heterocyclic chemistry of tellurium-containing compounds in eight chapters: tellurium-containing heterocycles--reviews, distinguishing features, and utility; tellurophenes, dihydrotellurophenes, and tetrahydrotellurophenes and their benzo and dibenzo analogs; telluranes, tellurins, and other six- membered rings containing one tellurium atom; telluropyrylium compounds; tellurium-containing heterocycles with at least one group Va element; tellurium-containing heterocycles composed of group IVa and group VIa elements; tellurium-containing heterocycles as donor molecules; and (authored by Marie B. O'Regan) tellurium-containing heterocycles with hypervalent or coordination bonds to tellurium. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, since its inception, has been recognized as a cornerstone of heterocyclic chemistry. Each volume attempts to discuss all aspects – properties, synthesis, reactions, physiological and industrial significance – of a specific ring system. To keep the series up-to-date, supplementary volumes covering the recent literature on each individual ring system have been published. Many ring systems (such as pyridines and oxazoles) are treated in distinct books, each consisting of separate volumes or parts dealing with different individual topics. With all authors are recognized authorities, the Chemistry of Heterocyclic Chemistry is considered worldwide as the indispensable resource for organic, bioorganic, and medicinal chemists. This reference considers the differences between the heterocyclic chemistry of tellurium-containing compounds and the heterocyclic chemistry of compounds comprising the lighter chalcogens, as well as utilities which exploit the differences. It focuses on main-group organometallic chemistry.
