Description
A solid mid-century American Chemical Society Monograph (No. 105) on cyanogen chemistry and nitrile-related compounds-made far more compelling by its documented, real-world working-life. This copy comes with an exceptional cache of original American Cyanamid / industrial chemistry ephemera and handwritten reaction notes, including a typed 1949 memo addressed to Mr. E. J. Tuthill (noted owner; worked at Brookhaven National Lab).
