DECHEMA Chemistry Data Series, Vat. 12/l. By J. BARTHEL and R. NENEDER. Electrolyte Data Collection, Part 1: Methanol. Conductivities, Transference Numbers, Limiting Ionic Conductivities, 375~~. 301, 00 DM This volume is the second in a new series, providing thermodynamic, dielectric and spectroscopic data for electrolyte solutions and their solvents and goes a step further in providing a standardized source of property data for salt solutions. The data collection started in 1976 as part of a DECHEMA study (supported by the German BMFT) and was the reason for the development of the database ELDAR (Electrolyte Data Regensburg) at the University of Regensburg, Germany. Up to now, approximately 500,000 measured data of electrolyte solutions from 16,000 publications have been stored. Electrolyte data and ELDAR have complementary functions. The books, conceived according to the guiding rules of the commission I.2 (Thermodynamics) of the Physical Chemistry Dtvrsron of IUPAC, give oritically
selected recommended data for each property of an electrolyte solution. The electrolytes are classified according to their solvents and solvent mixtures, arranged in alphabetical order according to their molecular formulas; indices of the formulas, names and CA-numbers are also given. All solution properties have been recalculated from the original measured data with the help of compatible property equations. An introduction to the use of the tables (39 pages) gives classification rules, fitting equations, fundamental concepts, conductivity equations, definitions of transference numbers and ionic conductivities, etc. used by the authors. There is no doubt that this volume is also welcomed by all scientists and engineers involved in these fields. H. HOFMANN
