    • J. W. Emsley + 2 more
    • English
    Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Part 1 is a two-chapter text that reviews significant developments in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications. The first chapter discusses NMR studies of molecules physisorbed on homogeneous surfaces. This chapter also describes the phase changes in the adsorbed layer detected by following the variation in the NMR parameters. The second chapter examines the process to obtain a plotted, data reduced Fourier transform NMR spectrum. This chapter highlights the pitfalls that can cause a decrease in information content in a NMR spectrum. The various steps involved in taking a free induction decay from a NMR spectrometer are also summarized. This book is of value to NMR spectroscopists, analytical chemists, and instrumentation students.

  • XXIIIrd International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry

    Special Lectures Presented at Boston, USA, 26-30 July 1971
    • 1st Edition

    • English
    XXIIIrd International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, Volume 3 documents the proceedings of the XXIIIrd International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry held in Boston, USA on July 26-30, 1971. This book discusses the aspects of growth and reproduction by hormones of insects, focusing on ecdysone and juvenile hormone. Ecdysone is closely related to the plant and animal sterols, while juvenile hormone to simple plant terpenes. The social behavior of insects that is controlled to a considerable degree by chemistry is also discussed. The effects range from long-term hormonal aspects, such as the production of queen bees by appropriate feeding, or the maintenance of sterile workers, to the more evanescent effects of pheromones. This compilation is valuable to chemists, entomologists, and biologists interested in insect chemistry.

Topics include analytical strategies, analysis of single erythrocytes, kinetic aspects of micellar catalysis, and micellar kinetic multicomponent determination. The text then takes a look at advances in the field of laser atomic spectroscopy and molecular recognition of sugars, including detection of sugar complexation, driving force and selectivity of sugar complexation, atomization/excitati... source, and diagnostic tool. The manuscript examines charge-remote fragmentations for structural determination of lipids; advances in speciation analysis by capillary gas chromatography; and chemical pattern recognition and multivariate analysis for QSAR studies. The publication also ponders on in-vivo microdialysis sampling in pharmacokinetic studies; a novel single beam optical spectrophotometer for fast luminescence, absorption, and reflection measurements of turbid materials; and techniques for the study and characterization of advanced materials.

  • Irreducible Tensor Methods

    An Introduction for Chemists
    • 1st Edition
    • Brian L. Silver
    • Ernest M. Loebl
    • English
    Irreducible Tensor Methods: An Introduction for Chemists explains the theory and application of irreducible tensor operators. The book discusses a compact formalism to describe the effect that results on an arbitrary function of a given set of coordinates when that set is subjected to a rotation about its origin. The text also explains the concept of irreducible tensor operators, particularly, as regards the transformation properties of operators under coordinate transformations, and, in a special way, the group of rotations. The book examines the systematic construction of compound tensor operators from simple operators to classify the behavior of any operator under coordinate rotations. This classification is a significant component of the irreducible tensor method. The text explains the use of the 6-j and 9-j symbols to complete theoretical concepts that are applied in irreducible tensor methods dealing with problems of atomic and molecular physics. The book describes the matrix elements in multielectron systems, as well as the reduced matrix elements found in these systems. The book is suitable for nuclear physicists, molecular physicists, scientists, and academicians in the field of quantum mechanics or advanced chemistry.

    • English
    A Course in Organic Chemistry Advanced Section, Volume 27: Indole Alkaloids: An Introduction to the Enamine Chemistry of Natural Products describes the chemistry of selected alkaloids that contain indolic or closely related nuclei. Some five hundred of these compounds have been obtained from about three hundred plants mostly of the family Apocynaceae. This book is composed of 12 chapters that specifically cover the chemistry of the complex indoles. The introductory chapters deal with the origin, isolation, characterization, basic chemistry, and simple derivatives of indole alkaloids. The remaining chapters examine the biogenesis, basic chemistry, stereochemistry, and structure of selected complex alkaloids of various origins. These chapters include tetrahydro-?-carboli... strychnos, iboga, picralima, and eburnamine alkaloids, cinchonamine, quinamine, and ajmaline-sarpagine bases. This text is of great value to organic chemists and researchers.
