LECTURE NOTES ON SOLUTION CHEMISTRY
by Viktor Gutmann & Gerhard Resch (Wien, Tech. Univ., Austria)
This book emphasises those features in solution chemistry which are difficult to measure, but essential for the understanding of both the qualitative and the quantitative aspects. Attention is paid to the mutual influences between solute and solvent, even at extremely small concentrations of the former. The described extension of the molecular concept leads to a broad view — not by a change in paradigm — but by finding the rules for the organizations both at the molecular and the supermolecular level of liquid and solid solutions.

Readership: Students and scientists in chemistry, physics, biology, pharmacy
and medicine.
"Wherever possible, the authors have tried to make the text readable by using interesting illustrations to explain the relevance of the concepts that they describe ... this book will be excellent supplementary reading for undergraduates and will also be good preliminary background reading for researchers new to the area."
