A new volume in the «Perspectives in Supramolecular Chemistry» series focusing on separating supramolecular structures, a key step in supramolecular chemistry. Two guest editors have been at the forefront of the development of chromatographical methods to deal with supramolecular systems. Reactions of supramolecular structures show the way into the future of chemistry. Fumio Toda is one of the driving forces in the development of supramolecular ...
Defects play an important role in determining the properties of solids. This book provides an introduction to chemical bond, phonons, and thermodynamics; treatment of point defect formation and reaction, equilibria, mechanisms, and kinetics; kinetics chapters on solid state processes; and electrochemical techniques and applications. Offers a coherent description of fundamental defect chemistry and the most common applications. Up-to-date trends ...
This scientifically sound, yet easily readable book provides the fundamentals necessary to understand today's energy and climate problems and provides possible answers based on current technology such as solar, water and geothermal power. Moreover, it introduces the reader to new concepts that are already or may soon be realized, such as nuclear fusion or a hydrogen-based economy. Aimed at a wide readership ranging from educated laypeople and st ...
Auch beim Thema Altlasten setzen praktische Problemlosungen das Verstandnis der grundlegenden chemischen und biologischen Prozesse voraus. Zu diesem Verstandnis verhilft das vorliegende Buch. Erstmals nehmen Experten darin auch zur okotoxikologischen Bewertung von Altlasten Stellung. Das Buch ist entsprechend der praktischen Vorgehensweise gegliedert. Es beginnt mit der Probenahme, geht uber die Analytik bis hin zu Sanierungsma?nahmen. Mit Altla ...
Im Rahmen der internationalen Verhandlungen uber Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) und in der EU wie auch in einzelnen Mitgliedsstaaten werden zur Zeit neue Ansatze zur Chemikalienbewertung diskutiert. Der Autor schlagt dazu in diesem Buch ein neuartiges Konzept vor, das auf Persistenz und Reichweite der Chemikalien beruht. Er geht dabei von der Annahme aus, da? die Trennung von Beschreibung und Bewertung in den Umweltwissenschaften unangemes ...
This first comprehensive book to cover this exciting field also deals with the biological aspects, such as enzymes with iron. Following an introduction, this handy reference and handbook goes on to deal with reductions, oxidations of C, H- and C=C bonds, oxidative allylic oxygenation and amination, the oxidation of heteroatoms, cross coupling reactions, aromatic and nucleophilic substitutions, addition to carbonyl compounds, and cyclisations as ...
This one-stop reference is the first book on this emerging and rapid developing field with a focus on synthesis and catalysis. As such, it covers all aspects from academia and industry in a clearly structured way. Leading experts provide the background information as an initial aid for newcomers to the field, while chapters on different reaction types and industrial applications make this an equally vital resource for specialists. ...
With combinatorial chemistry millions of organic compounds can be produced simultaneously, quickly, and in most cases by automated procedures. These compound libraries are a cost-effective resource for the pharmaceutical industry in their search for biologically active lead structures. Furthermore simultaneous parallel synthesis of single peptides and peptide libraries solve the problem of the worldwide increasing demand for peptides. The synthe ...
There are hardly more versatile compounds in organic synthesis than carbene complexes. The rapid development of new synthetic methods involving carbene complexes – stereoselective cyclopropanation, carbonyl olefination, olefin metathesis, etc. – reveals the value and high potential of these compounds. Their application ranges from the synthesis of fine chemicals to polymer production. This comprehensive, well structured handbook presents the fun ...
