ABSTRACT
The chemistry of specific classes of salts, e.g., chlorates, is discussed in the introduction to the particular halogen. Further information is available in textbooks on inorganic chemistry.
A book by Solymosi
deals with the chemistry of solid oxyhalogens in great detail. This book covers the literature through 1974, and includes kinetic studies. The author’s previous monograph
was published the same year as part of a larger work on salts with oxyanions. A search of the literature through 1996 has shown a noticeable decrease in publications in this field since about 1985. Material from all of the above works has been included in this and succeeding chapters.
