Product Description: The first book in the PATAI Series was published in 1964 and the Series will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2014. This ?Golden Jubilee? is accompanied by the publication of the first volume on the chemistry of organogold. In the history of the PATAI Series there was, so far, no volume dedicated to gold alone...read more

Product Description: The most complete resource in functional group chemistryPatai's Chemistry of Functional Groups is one of chemistry's landmark book series in organic chemistry. An indispensible resource for the organic chemist, this is the most comprehensive reference available in functional group chemistry...read more

The Chemistry of Cyclobutanes provides an in depth and comprehensive review of cyclobutanes and includes chapters on the theoretical and computational foundations; on analytical and spectroscopical aspects with dedicated chapters on Mass Spectrometry, NMR and IR/UV.   There are also extensive application examples enabling the reader to collect both a theoretical and practical understanding. The Chemistry of Functional Groups Series was originally founded by Saul Patai (1918-1998) and in the 39 years of publishing has produced more than 100 volumes, providing outstanding reviews on all aspects of functional groups including analytical, physical and synthetic and applied chemistry.  Saul Patai has been helped by outstanding editors, especially Zvi Rappoport who has now taken responsibility for the series to continue the tradition of producing high quality reviews with editors such as Y. Apeloig, I. Marek and J. Liebman.

Product Description: The amide linkage is one of the most fundamental and widespread chemical bonds in nature, underlying the properties of a vast array of organic molecules, polymers, and materials, including peptides and proteins. Arthur Greenberg, Curt Breneman, and Joel Liebman’s peerless text provides comprehensive coverage of the experimental, structural, and computational findings that shed light on the chemical and physical properties of the amide linkage, as well as its emerging applications in materials and biotechnology...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Internationally renowned experts apply from an interdisciplinary perspective mechanistic principles such as the requirements for electron transfer, the role of binding and proximity, stereoelectronic effects, and structural determination of reaction coordinates to fundamental classes of enzymatic reactions...read more

Product Description: The field of "Oxygen Activation" has attracted considerable interest recently, not only because it presents challenges in those fields of basic research that aim to understand the fundamental aspects of chemical and biological reactions that involve dioxygen, but also because of its wide range of practical implications in such diverse fields as medicine, synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds, materials science, and atmospheric science...read more

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 first of two books treating the activities and properties of enzymes from the perspective of structures and energetics. Ten contributions provide an interdisciplinary perspective, applying to fundamental classes of enzymatic reaction mechanistic principles such as the requirements for electron transfer, the role of binding and proximity, stereo-electronic effects, and structural determination of reaction coordinates...read more

Product Description: Modern Models of Bonding and Delocalization Edited by Joel F. Liebman Arthur Greenberg In addition to describing modern views of bonding and delocalization, this volume presents the ways in which these have been deduced. For example, qualitative pictures of small rings often include the competing and now classic concepts of strain and aromaticity...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
