HANDBOOK OF PREPARATIVE INORGANIC CHEMISTRY 2nd. ed.
George Brauer
http://rapidshare.de/files/1284242/brauer_ocr.zip.html

The Handbook of Preparative Inorganic Chemistry, which was originally published in German, lists methods for synthesizing inorganic compounds. The multi-volumed handbook provides both a formula index and a name index to the synthesis of these compounds. For example the synthesis of S2N2, a cyclic four-membered ring system, which is explosively unstable above 30 C, is indexed under both it formula and it name, disulfur dinitride. A discussion of preparative methods and techniques is given at the beginning of the 1st volume.

Comment
Very dated, but interesting as a cultural history of psychadelic use. There are scanned BMPs of it floating around which I rotated appropriately and merged into a single PDF.

Chemistry & Technology of Fabric Preparation & Finishing
Dr. Charles Tomasino
http://www.p2pays.org/ref/06/05815.pdf

Comments about the book/Monogram

Though Charles Tomasino writes such information for application with Fabrics, all such reagents & synthesis routes have have many other applications as well [obviously, common sense to us all].
SwiMiNdBaBY was extremely impressed with the phenominal amount of quick-to-the-point information packed into that 270pages even with the book having a terribly large font.
Not exactly a bee's how-to guide, but swim believes it would make a good addition to fellow chemists libraries becuase the book possesses an wealth of information..

**Humor: It has a wealth of info alright. . . On how to get swims laundry clean! And swim means CLEANER than new!

Universal Laws Never Before Revealed: Keely's Secrets : Understanding and Using the Science of Sympathetic

This is an amazing and inspiring book, that has led me to a much more comprehensive and alive understanding of the world of "forces" around me and the potential for real exploration in the actualisation of these in many fields such as sono-chemistry...

no less than the basis for a new science of energy and worlds of possibility.

Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds
Robert M. Silverstein, Francis X. Webster

http://rzv073.rz.tu-bs.de/bib/dir2/Books/Chembooks2/Spectroscopia/silverstein.djvu

Book Description
This book is characterized by its problem-solving approach with extensive reference charts and tables. First published in 1962, this was the first book on the identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy. Now considered a classic, it can be found on the shelf of every Organic Chemist. The key strength of this text is the extensive set of real-data problems in Chapters 8 and 9. Even professional chemists use these spectra as reference data. Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds is written by and for organic chemists, and emphasizes the synergistic effect resulting from the interplay of the spectra.

CRC Press 2003

http://rzv073.rz.tu-bs.de/bib/dir2/Books/Chembooks2/Spectroscopia/mass-spectrometry.djvu

Book Description
Mass Spectrometry Basics provides authoritative yet plain-spoken explanations of the basic concepts of this powerful analytical method without elaborate mathematical derivations. The authors describe processes, applications, and the underlying science in a concise manner supported by figures and graphics to further comprehension. The text provides practical approaches to interpreting mass spectral data and step-by-step guides for identifying chemically relevant compounds. Additionally, the authors have included an extensive reference section and a quick guide to each chapter that offers immediate access to key information.This unique reference makes some of the esoteric aspects of this important area of analysis more readily comprehensible to those who deal with analytical instruments but who have not been trained in mass spectrometry. It also serves as a refresher for practicing mass spectroscopists by clarifying principles to afford a better appreciation and application of this technology

THE WAR GASES CHEMISTRY AND ANALYSIS
BY DR. MARIO SARTORI
Chemist of the Italian Chemical Warfare Service

http://rapidshare.de/files/1856774/wargases-jbig2.pdf.html

INTRODUCTION
THE date of the commencement of scientifically organised chemical warfare is universally fixed at April 22nd, 1915, when the Germans launched the first cloud of chlorine gas in the region of Ypres.
It may be said that on the same date the study of the war gases commenced. In the literature of the pre-war period, occasional notes appear concerning the physical, chemical and biological properties of most of the substances which were employed in the European War as war gases. These notes, however, were not the.
result of systematic researches, at any rate from the biological side, but of inquiries into accidents.
A complete study of only a few substances was in existence, but these were more properly poisons, such as the alkaloids and the arsenic-containing pharmaceuticals, etc., and cannot be included among the war gases.
The employment of noxious substances as munitions of war imposed on chemists of all nations the necessity of co-ordinating and adding to the existing data concerning substances which were both toxic and also had the necessary physical, chemical and technical properties. These researches were concerned both with the manufacturing processes best suited to the national resources and with the most efficient methods of employing substances already known to be toxic. Furthermore, the biological properties of known substances were defined so as to correlate offensive action with chemical structure, and finally, especially at the end of the war and in the post-war period, new war gases were synthesised whose employment would surprise the enemy and which would also be superior in some respects to those already in use.
In these researches several thousand substances were examined during the war, and Edgewood Arsenal, U.S.A., alone examined some 4,000. But, of all these, only 54, according to American data, were tried in the field, and only 12 were being actually used at the end of the war.
This selection, which was made on the basis of the actual conditions in which the substances were employed, shows how rigorous are the physical, chemical and technical requirements of a substance for it to be utilisable in the field. Substances
which are satisfactory from the biological point of view must also
(i) Be capable of being manufactured by practicable and economical methods with due regard to national resources.
And (2) possess physical and chemical properties which render them utilisable in the field.
Studies carried out during and since the war have shown that
(a) Not all substances harmful to the human organism can be used as war gases.
(b) The most efficient war gases are organic compounds, the inorganic compounds which have great toxicity being unsuitable for use owing to their physical and chemical properties.
The war of 1914-18 thus initiated a new branch of chemistry, predominantly organic, which only to a limited extent borders on toxicological chemistry.
Work in this new field of study is characterised both by experimental difficulty and by the necessity of co-ordinating chemical facts with physiopathological data and techno-military requirements.
It is with the confidence of being able to contribute modestly to a wider knowledge of the war gases and in the hope of satisfying requests for a book which should contain all the purely chemical data, at present published in the various manuals of chemical warfare in fragmentary or summary form, that I have collected in this volume all the best and most recent work published up to the present on the chemistry of the war gases.
