Water is the most commonly solvent, but this can be problematic in some aspects of chemistry. The use of Nonaqueous solvents allows substances which may otherwise be unstable or insoluble in water to be reacted successfully. This second edition of a classic monograph has been updated and contains new material on environmentally-friendly solvents, such as room-temperature ionic liquids.Split into three, well-structured parts covering the fundamentals, the latest developments in the techniques and applications in this field and the electrochemistry in new solvent systems.This is the ultimate resource for all graduates students and researchers using electrochemical techniques. Booknews Surveys the properties of non-aqueous solvents, the effects of solvents on chemical processes, and electrochemical techniques for studying chemical reactions. Focusing on the chemical information derived, the author describes applications of potentiometry, conductimetry, polarography, and voltammetry in non-aqueous solutions, and examines methods of selecting and purifying the solvents and electrolytes of electrochemical importance. The differences between electrochemical measurements in non-aqueous systems and those in aqueous systems are identified. Topics include solvation and complex formation of ions and behavior of electrolytes, methods of pH measurement, polargraphic reductions of metal ions, and new capacitors using non-aqueous solutions.

\ From the Publisher"It is a book that demands to be used by the intended audience. It is well built for the job. With an exhaustive list of valuable and highly pertinent references at the end of every chapter, the book is hugely and surprisingly comprehensive for the author's intended purpose and the users' requirements, covering vast tracts of areas of knowledge that we need to possess on nonaqueous solutions. There is little excuse not to buy it."
