Primary, Secondary, And Tertiary Phosphines, Polyphosphines, And Heterocyclic Organophosphorus (iii) Compounds -- V. 2. Phosphine Oxides, Sulphides, Selenides, And Tellurides -- V. 3. Phosphonium Salts, Ylides, And Phosphoranes -- V. 4. Ter- And Quinque-valent Phosphorus Acids And Their Derivatives. Edited By Frank R. Hartley. An Interscience Publication. Includes Bibliographical References And Indexes. Part of a series dealing with organophosphorus compounds, this volume covers the chemical and physical properties exhibited by phosphine oxides, sulphides, selenides and tellurides. It covers electrochemistry, photochemistry, structure and bonding, stereochemistry and chemical reactions. The first volume in a series of books which propose to cover the extensive subject area of the chemistry of functional groups. This volume concentrates on organophosphorus compounds as a functional group, and the effects that group exerts on the behaviour of the whole molecule.
