Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS or ESCA) are well-established techniques for surface analysis and also (when combined with sputter depth profiling) for thin film and interface analysis. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject for over 10 years, during which time there have been many advances in instrumentation and performance, understanding of electron spectroscopy fundamentals, experimental methodology and data interpretation, which have markedly enhanced the capabilities of AES and XPS. All this new information is now integrated into a thoroughly up-to-date reference volume for the benefit of researcher and practical analyst alike.

The publication of this volume continues the supplementation of the second edition of Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds thus keeping this major work of reference up-to-date. The contents of this volume supplement chapters 20, 21, and 22 of Volume IVE of the second edition. Chapter 22 of the second edition was a reproduction of chapter IX of the original edition and was published as a tribute to Sir Robert Robinson. Advances in this area have been incorporated into the main text of the supplement. Although the chapters in this book stand on their own, they are intended to be read in conjunction with the parent chapters in the second edition.

This book is intended for students in medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, biochemists, and more. In General Chemistry, the laws of chemistry, the structure of simple and complex compounds, chemical bonds, solutions, chemical reactions, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, protolytic and redox processes, and sorption are discussed. In Inorganic Chemistry, chemical elements, inorganic compounds, and their significance for medicine are presented. It is focused on developing metal-based diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The significance of coordination chemistry to modulate enzyme activity is discussed. The production of reactive oxygen species selectively damaging cancer cells is described, too. Short biographies of chemists and scientists, which have rendered services to general and inorganic chemistry in medicine, are given in a person index.
