Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ' Chalcogen-nitrogen chemistry involves the study of compounds that exhibit a linkage between nitrogen and sulfur, selenium or tellurium atoms. Such studies have both fundamental and practical importance. A Guide to Chalcogen-Nitrogen Chemistry examines the role of chalcogen-nitrogen compounds in areas ranging from solid-state inorganic chemistry to biochemistry. The discussion covers fundamental questions concerning the bonding in electron-rich systems, as well as potential practical applications of polymers and materials with novel magnetic or electrical properties. This book is the only account of this important topic to appear in the last twenty–five years, and coupled with its extensive literature coverage of very recent developments, this comprehensive guide is essential for anyone working in the field. The treatment is unique in providing a comparison of sulfur, selenium and tellurium systems, with an approach intended to emphasize general concepts that will be helpful to the non-specialist. Each chapter is designed to be self–contained, and there are extensive cross–references between chapters.

Keywords:Sulfur;Selenium;Tellurium;Nitrogen;Heterocycles;Electron-Rich Compounds;Chemical Bonding;Metal ComplexesKey Features:Focuses on important developments in the last 25 yearsCompares Sulfur, Selenium and Tellurium CompoundsTargets the non-specialist as well as experts in the fieldSupplements standard textbook treatments of this subjectDiscusses theoretical concepts and practical applicationsReviews:“Although each chapter is designed to be self–contained, there is detailed cross-referencing between them … the focused nature of the chapters together with an adequate subject index makes finding particular compounds relatively easy … the introductory chapters will be of significant interest to upper level undergraduates as well as to graduate students … The comprehensive listing of reactions and reaction types found in the later chapters will be of more benefit to specialists in the arena of main group chemistry. This modestly priced resource should be a welcome addition to researchers in the field or to those interested in entering the area.”Journal of the American Chemical Society '
