  • Inorganic Chemistry in Spain

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 84
    • English
    The editors of the volume Inorganic Chemistry in Spain have intended to achieve a collection of some chapters featuring the work of Spanish experts in Inorganic Chemistry, each one having specific expertise in some field. Areas that cover theory, classical coordination compounds, new materials, supramolecular assemblies, mechanisms of reactions, magnetism, organometallic complexes, and catalysis are included. In all cases, a special relevance is given to a deep understanding of the behavioural properties of the compounds featured, not only to their mere preparation methodologies, which had been historically related to classical Inorganic Chemistry.

  • Organic Synthesis

    • 5th Edition
    • Michael Smith
    • English
    **2025 Textbook and Academic Authors Association (TAA) Textbook Excellence "Texty" Award Winner**Organic Synthesis, Fifth Edition provides a reaction-based approach to this important branch of organic chemistry. Updated and accessible, this eagerly-awaited revision offers a comprehensive foundation for graduate students coming from disparate backgrounds and knowledge levels, providing them with critical working knowledge of basic reactions, stereochemistry, and conformational principles. This reliable resource uniquely incorporates molecular modeling content, problems, and visualizations, and includes reaction examples and homework problems drawn from the latest in the current literature.There have been advancements in organic reactions, particularly organometallic reactions, and there is a need to show how these advancements have influenced current organic synthesis. The goal is to revise and update the reaction examples taken from the synthesis literature from 2017 to 2023. The reactions illustrate those used most often in modern organic synthesis, but these new examples will show their current relevance. Where new approaches and reactions have been developed for organic synthesis, examples have been added as new material.

  • Visible Light-Driven Organic Synthesis

    • 1st Edition
    • Goutam Brahmachari
    • English
    Visible Light-Driven Organic Synthesis covers the recent cutting-edge investigations in the field of visible light– driven organic synthesis in a single comprehensive volume. It provides information on rigorously selected reaction schemes and covers new reactions and new methods under visible light photocatalysis. It enlists more than 100 important synthetic strategies/methodolo... with particular emphasis on useful reactions for organic synthesis under the mild reaction conditions reported in recent times involving carbon–carbon (C–C) and carbon–heteroatom bond–forming reactions, resulting in a wide spectrum of chemical compounds, providing an outstanding source of information concerning industrial applications.The chapters are classified based on various photocatalysts that have found direct applications in organic synthesis by carrying out different kinds of organic reactions. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular photocatalyst, and each selected reaction is dealt with in a compact manner through point-wise discussion under distinct subheadings covering the reaction type, reaction conditions, bond-forming information, reaction strategy involved, general reaction scheme, examples of representative entries with chemical structures and physical properties, a suggested plausible mechanism, critical views, and literature. In addition, visible light–mediated self-sensitized organic transformations that took place without any external photocatalysts have also been covered.This book is immensely helpful to chemistry students, teachers, researchers, academicians, and chemical/ agrochemical industry people to access the latest information and advances on visible light–driven organic synthesis developments.
