Purification of Laboratory Chemicals
Professor Perrin and Armarego have done a commendable job in updating what has become a classic refernce. Visually this edition has significantly improved from the previous edition. Enlarging the pages and printing the book with a laser printer makes it more aesthetically appealing. More importantly, the amount of information has substantially increased. Additional chemicals have been added to the book and almost every entry now has the Chemical Abstracts registry number and molecular weight. Liquids have freezing point, boiling point, refractive index, and density information. Solids include a melting point and an occasional boiling point. Chiral molecules list a specific rotation. Unique hazards are also listed for some chemicals.Journal of the American Chemical Society  Vol 112, No 12,--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
