The information below the line describes earlier editions. The following information relates to the new edition.
- Provides the most accurate, reliable, and current resource of chemical and physical data available
- Provides the most complete coverage of data on properties for inorganic and organic compounds
- Contains new as well as updated tables and references to help readers stay up-to-date with the latest developments
- Features data drawn from timely research and carefully reviewed for accuracy
- Includes new tables of data on biochemistry, environmental issues, nanomaterial properties, and more
The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 89th Edition continues to offer the most authoritative,
up-to-date data to scientists around the world. This edition contain revisions, updates, and expansions
as well as ten new tables of data on molecular structure, biochemistry, environmental issues, material
properties, and more.
Major revisions include newly approved fundamental physical constants, properties
of fatty acids, bond dissociation energies, and molecular structures of free molecules.
New tables include Energy Content of Fuels, Global Warming Potential of Greenhouse Gases,
Weather-Related Scales, Index of Refraction of Gases, Molecular Internal Rotation,
Atomic Radii of Elements, Composition and Properties of Various Natural Oils and Fats,
Melting Curve of Mercury, Properties of Gas Clathrate Hydrates, Enthalpy of Hydration
of Gases, and Properties of Graphite and Nanotubes.
For more than 90 years, researchers around the world have relied on the CRC Handbook of
Chemistry and Physics for authoritative, up-to-date data. This yearly upadte is no exception. Many
of the most
heavily used tables in the book receive major updates and expansions, most notably:
- Physical Properties of Inorganic Compounds - Features nearly 25% more compounds
- Enthalpy of Fusion - Contains updated values and 20% more compounds, especially inorganics
- Bond Dissociation Energies - Includes 70% more compounds, including for the first time more than 1200 molecular ions
- Table of the Isotopes - Brought up to date with research results through the year 2005
- Inorganic Ion and Ligand Nomenclature - Incorporates new rules from IUPAC for systematic names
- Chemical Carcinogens - Updated in accordance with the recent report from the National Toxicology Program
- Global Temperature Trend - Traces the rise in mean global temperature for the last 150 years
New references will also help keep readers up to date.
- Continues to be the most accurate, reliable, and current resource available on chemical data
- Provides the widest and most complete coverage of data on properties of inorganic and organic compounds
- Includes seven important new tables and extensive updates and expansion of 20 others
- Incorporates substantial revisions to the Bond Dissociation Energy and Standard Transformed Gibbs Energy
of Formation for Important Biochemical Species
- Updates the valuable Sources of Physical and Chemical Data appendix
For more than 90 years, researchers around the world have relied on the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and
Physics for authoritative, up-to-date data. This year will be no exception. New tables, extensive updates, and
added sections mean the Handbook again sets a new standard for reliability, utility, and thoroughness.
New tables in this edition include: Proton Affinities, Electron Inelastic Mean Free Paths, Selected Properties
of Semiconductor Solid Solutions, and Vapor Pressures (Solvent Activities) for Binary Polymer Solutions.
Sections substantially revised and updated include NIST Atomic Transition Probability Tables, Summary
Tables of Particle Properties, and Threshold Limits for Airborne Contaminants.
The 86th Edition also marks a fresh look for the Handbook. A larger format and new layout makes
it easier to read and a new typeface makes the tables and diagrams crystal clear.
