Introduced: September 1968

Description

C01D covers the synthesis, preparation, and chemical composition of inorganic compounds containing the alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, and francium). This includes hydroxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, nitrates, and other salts of these metals, as well as their oxides and peroxides. The classification encompasses both industrial-scale production methods and laboratory synthesis routes for these compounds. Adjacent classes cover related materials such as compounds of alkaline earth metals (C01E) and general inorganic chemistry outside specific metal families (C01B).
