This volume covers the literature published between July 1971 and June 1972. Theseniorreporterintroducesthevolumebyhighlightingsomeofthemoreinteresting developments in a brief overall review. This is followed by the following chapters: “Spectroscopic and Theoretical Aspects” (D. Phillips); “Developments in Instrumentation and Techniques” (M. A. West); “Photophysical Processes in Condensed Phases” (D. Phillips); “Gas-phase Studies” (D. Phillips and K. Salisbury); “Inorganic Photochemistry” (D. Phillips); “Photolysis of Carbonyl Compounds”, “Enone Cycloadditions and Rearrangements”, “Photochemistry of Olefins, Acetylenes and Related Compounds” (W. M. Horspool); “Photochemistry of Aromatic Compounds” (A. Gilbert); “Photo-oxidation and reduction Reactions” “Photoreactions of compounds containing (A. A. Gorman); Heteroatoms other than Oxygen”, “Photoelimination Reactions” (S. T. Reid) and “Polymer Photochemistry” (D. Phillips). This is indeed a mammoth volume containing some 3,500 references. On this score alone it is good value for money. The authoritative articles are excellent accounts of the photochemical literature of this period. This volume together with the previous ones of the series should be readily available to all photochemists. D. P.

pp. xvi + 501, price L9.50. The first report comprises eight chapters, one chapter being devoted to each of the main groups. The first two chapters are relatively short but growing interest may place more emphasis on the metals of these two groups in future volumes. Chapter 3 is large due to the continued interest in boron chemistry. Chapter 4 is also large but the work is spread more evenly over all the elements of the group. Phosphorus chemistry dominates Chapter 5 and similarly in Chapter 6, the emphasis is on sulphur chemistry. The chemistry of hydrogen is covered in Chapter 7. The discussion of the halogens is concerned largely with positive oxidation states. The
