Advances in Physical Organic Chemistry
A range of alternative mechanisms can usually be postulated for most organic chemical reactions, and identification of the most likely requires detailed investigation. Investigation of Organic Reactions and their Mechanisms will serve as a guide for the trained chemist who needs to characterise an organic chemical reaction and investigate its mechanism, but who is not an expert in physical organic chemistry. Such an investigation will lead to an understanding of which bonds are broken, which are made, and the order in which these processes happen. This information and knowledge of the associated kinetic and thermodynamic parameters are central to the development of safe, efficient, and profi...
The editors, Lund (emeritus, organic chemistry, Aarhus U., Denmark) and Hammerich (chemistry, U. of Copenhagen), have substantially revised and expanded this basic reference work (originally edited by Bazier). There are two new chapters--on the electrochemistry of C60 compounds and electroenzymatic synthesis--and one-third of the chapters have been rewritten by new authors, these are: carbonyl compounds; anodic oxidation of oxygen-containing compounds; anodic oxidation of sulfur- and selenium-containing compounds; electrosynthesis of bioactive materials (this replaces natural products and pharmaceuticals); organoelemental compounds; reductive coupling; electrochemical partial fluorination; electrogenerated bases; industrial electroorganic chemistry; and conducting polymers. The international group of contributors are all academics in various disciplines in chemistry. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The current volume covers a host of topics in organic synthesis, photo- / radiation-chemistry, electron donor-acceptor interaction, supramolecular chemistry and photovoltaics. It provides a unique forum for expounding and discussing the latest developments in these important disciplines of "Fullerene Research". The selected examples, described in this comprehensive and one-of-a-kind resource, will illustrate the continuing interest and potential of fullerenes as multifunctional moieties in well-ordered multicomponent composites. In view of the novelty and the various areas involved, the composed monographs are of interest for condensed matter physicists; materials scientists; electrochemists; biochemists; solid-state, physical, organic, inorganic, and theoretical chemists; chemical, electrical, and optical engineers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
The book on Trends in Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching: New Perspectives and Applications focuses on the recent advances in the field of quorum sensing in bacteria and the novel strategies developed for quorum sensing inhibition. The topics covered are multidisciplinary and wide-ranging,and includes quorum sensing phenomenon in pathogenic bacteria, food spoilers, and agriculturally relevant bacteria. The applications of quorum sensing inhibitors such as small molecules, bioactives, natural compounds, and quorum quenching enzymes in controlling bacterial infections in clinical settings, agriculture and aquaculture are discussed. The potential use of quorum quenching enzymes for mitigating ...
This book is an extensive revision of the earlier book with the same title, 1981. The reader who has the first edition will recognise chapters 1-3 and parts of Chapt. 4; thereafter, there is little similarity. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, as one internal Danish publication stated, the first edition contained "et hav af smafejl" meaning (with some poetic license), a sea of troubles. I welcomed the opportunity of setting this right. Secondly, a number of readers rightly criticised my glib dismissal of problems connected with homogeneous chemical reactions in the first edition, now dealt with. Thirdly, digital simulation has not stood still since 1980 and this book reflects the ...
