The Nature of the Chemical Bond provides a general treatment, essentially nonmathematical, of present (as of 1960) knowledge about the structure of molecules and crystals and the nature of the chemical bond.
Among the new features in the third edition are a detailed resonating-valence-bond theory of electron-deficient substances, such as the boranes and ferrocene; a chemical theory of the electronic structure of metals and intermetallic compounds; a discussion of the role of the hydrogen bond in the structures of proteins and nucleic acids; the electroneutrality principle; and other new principles of molecular structure.

The principal novelty of this book is its attempt to present a balanced survey of the data of absorptions pectroscopy for organic compounds in all regions of the spectrum from far ultraviolet to far infrared. Classification of compounds according to functional groups is the basic indexing system employed. A second thesis of this work is that spectra in all regions permit a uniqueness of identification of a compound that is not achieved with infrared or ultraviolet data alone

This book includes a rather broad background of history, , theoretical consideration of the relation between color and chemical and physical structure, the raw materials for synthetic organic pigments and the chemistry involved in the formation of colored products, the typical chemistry of dyestuffs and organic pigments, systematic consideration of structural types, methods of testing known and unknown pigments, analytical procedures and identification, and uses to which organic pigments are adapted.
