Product Description: The title of this volume implies a progression of sorts from species of molecular size to a product described on the basis of continuum prop­ erties. The difference in approach from the standpoint of molecular be­ havior, on the one hand-more the forte of chemists-and from the standpoint of large-scale properties, on the other-more the province of chemical engineers and materials scientists-represents a severe cultural divide, but one with much potential for creative input from both sides...read more

Product Description: The current volume consists of eight chapters which interweave various aspects of the structure, energetics and reactivity of organic free radicals, all combining pedagogical insights with current research. The first is by Walling in which a personalized overview is given by one of the modern pioneers of the discipline...read more

Product Description: This collection of ten articles by leading authorities makes accessible to the nonspecialist some of the newest concepts in chemistry. The contributors apply the isoelectronic principle to - fundamental rules for predicting molecular structure, - the properties of novel inorganic compounds, - the chemistry of positrons and other 'elementary' particles, - the energetics of 'inert' gas containing species, - the design of conducting polymers and electronic devices on a molecular scale...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Nine chapters by leading researchers from a variety of disciplines examine the structure/activity of enzymes that depend on their surrounding, including other proteins, cofactors, substrates, the reaction medium, and even themselves...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Eleven chapters by internationally recognized experts illuminate the many unique properties of fluorinated compounds that influence structure and mechanism. Applications discussed include new synthetic pathways, high-energy species, and biologically-active molecules. (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Molecular Structure and Energetics Volume 1 Edited by Joel F. Liebman Arthur Greenberg This series has as its theme two of the most widespread, fundamental and important concepts in chemistry: molecular structure and energetics. The scope of the series ranges from species as elegantly simple as elemental boron and carbon to those as ill-defined, yet important, as atmospheric particulates; from rearrangements in clusters to the strain and aromaticity of organic molecules; from the energies of protonation of atoms and diatomic molecules to the binding of substrates to natural and synthetic enzymes...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
