New York: Wiley, 1997. - 604 с.This book is a comprehensive review of the chemistry of what are the simplest and most fundamental species present in aqueous solution for a chemical element – an aqua ion. Understanding the chemistry of the aqua ion i.e. the species [M(OH—2)—n]m+ is fundamental to an appreciation of not only a given elements aqueous solution chemistry, but also to the general chemical properties of that element. The Chemistry of Aqua Ions has been written at a time when environmental issues and the move towards clean technology is driving synthetic chemists away from organic based solvent systems and towards water as the preferred medium of the future. The paints industry has already moved to aqueous based products. Metal aqua complexes are widely used in the areas of catalysis, dyes and pigments and in hydrometallurgy where a complete understanding of the metal ions in aqueous media is highly desirable. This is the first book to treat the chemistry of the aqua ions as a self–contained topic.Contents
