of Polymers, by P. Hedvig, Adam Hilger, Bristol, 1977,
A new book on dielectric properties of polymeric systems is bound to be of interest owing to the commercial possibilities. It is pleasing to report that this particular book will also be of great value to those studying such properties. The text emphasises the relation between dielectric properties and the underlying molecular structure of polymers. Following a general introduction to the principles of dielectric spectroscopy, experimental techniques are described in some detail. The remaining chapters deal with the dielectric spectra of polymers, co-polymers, polymeric compounds, and blends. The resulting data are discussed and compared with comparable quantities obtained by dynamic mechanical, dilatometric, and thermal analytic techniques. This book is not an undergraduate text, but should prove most useful to graduate students and workers in this particular field. W, J. O.-T.
Structure by Diffraction Methods, Vol. 5, senior reporters L. E. Sutton and M. R. Truter, Specialist Periodical Report, The Chemical Society, London, 1977, pp. xiv + 440, price L35.00.
Molecular
Part I of this volume deals with electron diffraction. The first chapter is a comprehensive survey of work done during the period August 1975 to August 1976. Attention is drawn to the increasing complexity of molecules now being studied and the necessity to state clearly the ancillary information used in the analyses. Work reported includes high temperature studies, unusual bond length or bond angles, and conformational studies. The second chapter is much longer than is usual in these reports and surveys results obtained in recent years in molecular conformation studies, and includes a series of massive tables of data which will prove to be of great value. Part II comprises one chapter, by J. C. Speakman, dealing with neutron diffraction. Topics covered include hydrogen bonding and inorganic compounds. Part III consists of twenty chapters on X-ray diffraction, which in general deal with angle, conformation and molecular interaction, rather than bond length. The first four chapters cover: aromatic and analogous unsaturated molecules, non-aromatic hydrocarbons and analogous compounds, natural products and related compounds, and the structure of globular proteins and nucleic acids. The remaining chapters deal with specific groups of elements. J. T.
