Kyle A. Grice

Hi Kevin,

Do you have access to Inorganic Synthesis?

Also, what metals are you most curious about?

Kyle

Kevin Bethke

Hi Kyle,

unfortunatly I don't have access to Inorganic Synthesis. I am particularly interested in Iridium, Ruthenium, Rhenium and Rhodium.

Thanks for your answer.

Are you interested in the raw ore to compounds or simple compounds to more complex compunds? I work with Re quite a bit (see: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=4_bNwbMAAAAJ&hl=en) and have worked with the others as well. Shoot me an email at [email protected] with more info and I can send you some relevant refs.

Axel Klein

Inorganic Synthesis is retrievable in SciFinder.

If you don't have access, name the article and I can send it to you.

Best wishes,

AXEL

Besides Inorganic Synthesis, which many mentioned, I like "Chemistry of Precious Metals" from Cotton. My edition is from 1997, no idea if there is a more recent one that you can check.
