Luis A. Rivera-Rivera + 1 more
English

Typical pathways for modelling interatomic interactions involve the plotting of potential energy against radial displacement, but such approaches can be computationally costly. Canonical Approaches to Interatomic Interactions: Theory and Applications provides an overview of the field and presents a replicable, novel force-based approach that demonstrates accurate and quantitative interrelations between weakly bound and strong covalently bound intermolecular interactions.Beginning with an introduction to Potential Energy Surfaces (PES) and modern approaches in Part 1, Part 2 goes on to describe Canonical Approaches in detail, including methodologies and data to allow replication. Part 3 then goes on to outline some key applications, before future directions are discussed in Part 4.Sharing the insight of its progressive authors, Canonical Approaches to Interatomic Interactions: Theory and Applications is an informative guide for all those working with interatomic interactions and PES, including researchers in in chemical kinetics and bonding, molecular mechanics, quantum chemistry and molecular modelling.

The Analytical Chemistry of Cannabis, Second Edition provides analytical chemistry methods that address the latest issues surrounding cannabis-based products. Since the first edition was published in 2015, the cannabis industry and their portfolio of recreational and medicinal products has continued to grow and evolve rapidly. The plethora of marketed strains of cannabis and cannabinoid-containing products, combined with the lack of industry standards and labelling requirements, adds to the general perception of poor-quality control and limited product oversight.The methods described in this leading-edge volume help to support the manufacturing, labelling, and distribution of safe and consistent products with known chemical content and demonstrated performance characteristics. The book treats analytical chemistry within the context of the diverse issues surrounding medicinal and recreational cannabis in a manner designed to foster understanding and rational perspective in non-scientist stakeholders as well as scientists who are concerned with bringing a necessary degree of order to a field now characterized by confusion and contradiction. The second edition will provide an update to the basic information regarding chemistry and pharmacology of cannabis and cannabinoids and will further illustrate how analytical chemistry and scientific methods can address, inform, and eventually resolve the variety of challenges faced by industry, consumers, regulators, and researchers are currently experiencing.The Analytical Chemistry of Cannabis, Second Edition is written for a broad spectrum of analytical chemists, pharmacologists, medical doctors, clinical trials specialists, public health officials, international food and drug monitoring agencies, forensics specialists, law enforcement officers. It will also be invaluable to advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in pharmacy, pharmacology, experimental therapeutics, analytical chemistry, and forensics.

Supercritical Fluid Chromatography and Extraction, Second Edition defines the concept of contemporary practice in supercritical fluid chromatography and extraction and how it should be implemented in laboratory science for analysis, isolation, and production. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is a rapidly developing laboratory technique for the separation and identification of compounds in mixtures. Significant improvements in instrumentation have rekindled interest in SFC in recent years and enhanced its standing in the scientific community. Many scientists are familiar with column liquid chromatography and its strengths and weaknesses, but the possibilities brought to the table by SFC are less well-known and are underappreciated.Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) has been widely used for several decades, especially in the food industry, but is now diversifying its application fields. This book is a valuable resource for chemical engineers and chemists working with supercritical fluid at both preparative and process-scale applications; this includes researchers, academics and students working in various fields. This book is also a great introduction for anyone interesting in beginning their work within the fields of SFC and SFE to consolidate their knowledge and improve their skills.
