Synthetic Colouring Matters: Dye-stuffs derived from Pyridine, Quinoline, Acridine and Xanthene

Abstract

IT is probable that when the monographs on colouring matters which are promised in the introductory note to Sir Edward Thorpe's series on industrial chemistry have been published, they will represent as complete a compilation of the essential facts as exist in any language. Moreover, they will probably form a convenient source from which those who wish to obtain full information on this important branch of organic chemistry can readily do so without having to spend time and energy in consulting such cumbersome literature as that of the Fortschritte. The first volume to appear, that on the “Natural Colouring Matters,” by Perkin and Everest, is already known and appreciated by chemists, and we have now to look forward to the publication of no less than six volumes on synthetic colouring matters by authors who should know what they are writing about. The first of these volumes to appear has the title given at the head of this review, and sets a standard which augurs well for the success of the series.

Synthetic Colouring Matters: Dye-stuffs derived from Pyridine, Quinoline, Acridine and Xanthene.

By Prof. J. T. Hewitt. (Monographs on Industrial Chemistry.) Pp. xi + 405. (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1922.) 14s. net.
