Note to readers of ÒInorganic Reactions in WaterÓ,
Springer Verlag, 2008, by Ronald L. Rich:
A few examples of the errors introduced in composition, after the authorÕs final proofs were returned, are shown here, sent as instructions to the publisherÕs agent. The two most numerous types are the splitting of formulas at the ends of lines and the placement of hyphens inside syllables instead of moving some of the material to the next line.
E.g., p. 129, line 2: ... [W2O3(O2)4(H2O)2]2-.
should not be split as
... [W2O3(O2)4
[end of line]
(H2O)2]2-.
It should all be moved to the next line, or at least have
a hyphen, as in
... [W2O3(O2)4-
[end of line]
(H2O)2]2-.
P. 131, middle of page: ... H4[Mo (CN)8]
. [end of line]
6H2O, ...
should not have a space in [Mo (CN)8] á and
should be moved down, or be
... H4[Mo(CN)8]á-
[end of line]
6H2O, ...
P. 133, line 2: ... (NH4)4
[end of line]
[Mo8O26]á5H2O....
should be moved down, or be hyphenated
... (NH4)4- [end of line]
[Mo8O26]á5H2O....
P. 135, line 11-12 from the bottom: ... [PMo9O31
[end of line] etc.
[correct
as above]
Another type of added error, although small, is in the
hyphenations of words:
E.g., p. 454, line 6: ... presen- [end of line]
ce ...
ÒceÓ is not a separate syllable!
P. 456, lines 3 and 6 (both): ... (alkali- [end of
line]
ne);...
The Ò-lineÓ is pronounced as one syllable, not to be
split! Write Òalka- lineÓ.
P. 459, lines 8-9 from the bottom: Òbroma- tesÓ must be
Òbro- matesÓ.
Etc.
Thanks for noting the samples of corrections,
Ronald Rich
