The E-Series

From 1982 to 2000:

Houben-Weyl 4th Edition was updated in 1982 with 23 additional and supplementary volumes to form the E-Series (Ergänzungsbände). These volumes placed emphasis on the treatment of important classes of compounds and significant preparative methods. Since 1990, Houben-Weyl has been published in English (as well as in German until 1995), thereby making it accessible to chemists worldwide.

Editors:


Karl Heinz Büchel Leverkusen, Germany	Jürgen Falbe Düsseldorf, Germany	Hermann Hagemann Leverkusen, Germany



Michael Hanack Tübingen, Germany	Dieter Klamann Hamburg, Germany	Richard Kreher Dortmund, Germany



Heinz Kropf Hamburg, Germany	Manfred Regitz Kaiserslautern, Germany	Ernst Schaumann Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany

A complete volume list of the E-series is available in pdf format.
