- Description: In this work physical and analytical methods have been used to investigate the potassium salts of certain dioxalato chromium (III) complexes. The solid potassium salts of the trioxalatochromiate and the cis and trans dioxalatodiaquochromiates together with a salt corresponding to potassium dioxalatosulphatoaquochromiate were prepared. The mono- and dihydroxo derivatives of the cis and trans dioxalatochromiates were also obtained in aqueous solution. The methods of preparation and analysis used are described. Spectrophotometric absorption curves obtained on solutions of these salts using a Beckman Spectrophotometer are in agreement with results of previous workers, and the new absorption curve obtained from a solution of the solid cis dioxalatodiaquochromia salt shows that it is pure and gives additional proof of the completeness of the trans - cis isomerisation. Summary, p. i.

- Description: The chemistry of co-ordination compounds in general has played an important role in the development of the modern theory of valency, but the properties of complex salts between chromium and organic compounds containing carboxyl and amino- groups are of additional interest because of their bearing on the theory of certain technological processes such as chromium plating and, in particular, chrome-tanning. Owing to the rapid development of valence theory over the last two decades the technological chemist finds himself at a disadvantage vis-a-vis his academic counterpart in attempting to interpret the results of researches relating to these compounds as he must rely on the less powerful "classical" approach to his problems. Hence the need was felt for a brief survey of modern concepts of valency in terms of wave mechanics. For a more extended study the reader may consult the appropriate references and text books.

The chemistry of the wattle tannins

- Description: Four species of acacia of Auatralian origin are associated with the wattle industry in South Africa. Black wattle, Acacia mollissima willd., is the most important of these and is today almost exclusively cultivated. The tree grows successfully only in a limited area of rich soil and high rainfall and is easily affected by adverse conditions caused by insect pests, frost damage and drought. Expansion of the area under cultivation is therefore, not feasible, although the world demand for vegetable extracts far exceeds the available supply. The remaining species such as green (Acacia decurrrens willd.) and silver wattles (Acacia dealbata Link.) possess many desirable characteristics which resist such adverse factors. Their barks, however, give reddish extracts, which are considered unsuitable for tannery usage because of the red colour they impart to the leather. Hybridisation studies, involving the crossing of green and silver wattle with the black, and aimed at produc1ng progenies containing many of the desirable characterlstics of the parent plants, are thus a natural result and have been in progress for a considerable period. Summary, p. i.
