  • Advances in Magnetic Resonance

    Volume 1
    • 1st Edition
    • John S. Waugh
    • English
    Advances in Magnetic Resonance, Volume 1, discusses developments in various areas of magnetic resonance. The subject matter ranges from original theoretical contributions through syntheses of points of view toward series of phenomena to critical and painstaking tabulations of experimental data. The book contains six chapters and begins with a discussion of the theory of relaxation processes. This is followed by separate chapters on the development of magnetic resonance techniques for studying rate processes in chemistry and the application of these techniques to various problems; the geometrical and electronic structures of paramagnetic molecules and complex ions; and various theoretical formulations of spin-spin coupling. Subsequent chapters deal with geminal and vicinal proton-proton coupling constants from values reported in the literature; and electron spin resonance of radical ions. This serial publication was conceived with the insiders as well as the interested outsiders in mind. The editor hopes that readers who consult this book for a particular article will in some measure profit by being exposed to some of the other contributions.

  • Teratogens

    Chemicals Which Cause Birth Defects
    • 2nd Edition
    • Vera M. Kolb
    • English
    Teratogens Chemicals Which Cause Birth Defects, 2nd Revised Edition is a collection of papers that discusses the practical aspect of teratogens, particularly regarding information on the teratogenic potential of chemicals. This book describes the principles and mechanism of teratogenesis, including the initiating mechanisms during the subcellular or molecular level and the role of bio-activation in teratogenesis. Investigations have been done on the relationship between spontaneous abortion in women exposed to organic solvents, antineoplastic agents, and chemicals in plastics. Other studies also show that teratogenicity depends in part on enzymatic bio-activation to an embryotoxic reactive intermediate. This text also explains the legal and ethical aspects of fetal protection policies with emphasis on fetal protection. Protection to expecting women extends to pregnant students exposed to teratogenic chemicals in chemistry laboratories. The book explains how and where to get information about the teratogenic potential of chemicals and how to properly handle these chemicals in the laboratory. The book also provides a list from RTECs of toxic chemicals which can cause reproductive effects. This book can prove useful for chemists, pharmacologists, obstetricians, gynecologists, and practitioners of general medicine.

  • Newer Redox Titrants

    • 1st Edition
    • A. Berka + 2 more
    • R. Belcher + 1 more
    • English
    International Series of Monographs in Analytical Chemistry, Volume 22: Newer Redox Titrants focuses on the processes, reactions, methodologies, and approaches involved in the study of redox titrants. The publication first offers information on potassium permanganate in alkaline solution and compounds of trivalent manganese, including standard solutions, indicator, and review of determinations. The text then ponders on compounds of trivalent copper and potassium hexacyanoferrate. The book ponders on hypohalites (hypochlorite and hypobromite), chloramine-T, and bromine, as well as standard solutions, indicator, and review of determinations. The publication also takes a look at iodine monochloride, periodic acid and its salts, lead (IV) acetate, compounds of pentavalent vanadium, and iron (III) salts. The compounds of trivalent cobalt, hydrogen peroxide, chromium (II) salts, tin (II) chloride, sodium arsenite, and compounds of monovalent copper are also elaborated. ? The publication is a reliable reference for readers interested in newer redox titrants.

  • Introductory Titrimetric and Gravimetric Analysis

    The Commonwealth and International Library: Chemistry Division
    • 1st Edition
    • Evelyn M. Rattenbury
    • English
    Introductory Titrimetric and Gravimetric Analysis is an introductory course to the general principles of titrimetric and gravimetric analysis of chemical solutions and substances. The book is divided in two parts. Part I focuses on the principles of titrimetric analysis, covering topics on acid-base, argentometric, oxidation-reduction, iodometric, and complexometric titrations. Part II covers the principles of gravimetric analysis, discussing gravimetric process and methods; and the gravimetric determinations of several chemical solutions and substances. Chemists and students of chemistry will find the book a good reference material.

  • Chemical Induction of Cancer

    Structural Bases and Biological Mechanisms
    • 1st Edition
    • Joseph C. Arcos + 2 more
    • English
    Chemical Induction of Cancer: Structural Bases and Biological Mechanisms, Volume I discusses the role of chemicals in the genesis of cancer in man. This book is organized into two parts encompassing four chapters that also present the concepts and techniques of testing chemicals for carcinogenic potential. After an introduction to the distinctions between normal and neoplastic cells, this book goes on describing the structure of potential carcinogens, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The next chapter deals with the role of intra- and intermolecular forces of chemicals in their carcinogenic activity. The last chapter discusses some aspects of the pathology of chemically-induced tumors. This chapter also provides the concept and testing procedures of animal assays. This book is of great value to oncologists, pathologists, and general medical practitioners.

  • Nitration of Hydrocarbons and Other Organic Compounds

    • 1st Edition
    • A. V. Topchiev
    • English
    Nitration of Hydrocarbons and Other Organic Compounds tackles various concerns in the process of substituting hydrogen atoms in the aromatic or heterocyclic nucleus, or in saturated hydrocarbon, by nitro groups. The title first covers the nitration of aromatic and heterocyclic compounds with nitric acid and nitrating mixture, and then proceeds to discussing the mechanism of the nitration of aromatic compounds with nitric acid and nitrating mixture. Next, the selection deals with the nitration of saturated, aromatic-aliphatic and unsaturated hydrocarbons with nitric acid. The text also talks about the nitration with nitrogen oxides, along with the nitration of amines. The last chapter details the nitration of organic compounds with organic and inorganic nitrates and nitroxyl. The book will be of great interest to students, researchers, and practitioners of organic chemistry.
