Chalcone is one of the most versatile scaffolds with wide range of applications. It is used as a precursor for diverse classes of organic molecules, natural flavonoids and possesses interesting biological activities and physical properties like semiconductor, non-linear optical, fluorescence, and electronic properties to name a few. Chalcones have been the subject of intense research due to their biological activities and the ability to tweak their biological activity and other properties by small changes along the a, b-unsaturated backbone. Besides their inherent biological activities, they have found uses in food industry and cosmetic industry as additives, due to their UV protection properties. They have also found applications as chemosensors and probes. These diverse features make chalcones one of the most fascinating molecules Chalcones and their Derivatives: From Synthesis to Applications features this molecule, different methods and approaches to synthesis, significance of this scaffold in biology, and other diverse fields.

Elementary Kinetic Modelling in Catalytic Reaction Engineering is a practical focused text that brings together the relevant basics for reaction engineering and shows their applications to a wide variety of examples, whilst looking at the intrinsic kinetics data acquisition, reaction mechanism elucidation, elementary step-based modelling and model-based design and optimization involved.The book aims at spanning the entire process from acquisition of the relevant data in dedicated experimental set-ups, over the proper treatment of the data and the corresponding interpretation up to the quantification of the gained understanding in a model. The latter aspect allows the reader to challenge the interpretation made of the data and design subsequent experiments or improve the interpretation/model formulation. The coverage is not just limited to the generic (theoretical) principles but will also carefully consider and explain their application to a variety of real-life applications including gas- and liquid-phase reactions, heterogeneously catalyzed reactions involving adsorption either in the Henry regime or at full saturation of the catalyst or combined homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions.Elementary Kinetic Modelling in Catalytic Reaction Engineering is written primarily for graduate students and postdoc researchers in chemical engineering or applied industrial chemistry studying chemical reaction engineering and catalysis, as well as physical chemists studying kinetics.
