Inorganic Microchemistry

Abstract

MICROCHEMICALanalysis can be considered to include the sampling, separation, detection, and estimation of minute amounts of material, regardless of the techniques employed. Quite properly, emission spectroscopy, polarography, chromatography, and similar techniques, which are fields within themselves, fall under the broad classification of microchemistry. For the present paper, however, a limitation of scope is made to prevent overlapping with other reviews, and the reader is referred to such other reviews to complete the orientation on progress in the general field of microchemistrv.The review of inorganic microchemistrv does not include, except for isolated cases, papers on light microscopy, electron microscopy, nucleonics, polarography, fluorescence, or electro-
