  • Chromatographic-Mass Spectrometric Food Analysis for Trace Determination of Pesticide Residues

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 43
    • A.R. Fernandez Alba
    • English
    The trace determination of pesticides continues to be a topic for analytical chemists working in research centres, government and universities. With four chapters devoted to chromatography-mass spectrometry methods, readers are able to understand the analytical basis, technical characteristics and possibilities to evaluate pesticides in food by gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) mass spectrometry. The book also provides a well-defined and critical compilation of the sample treatment and clean-up procedures, as well as injection techniques applied in GC and LC food analysis. Finally the book deals with aspects related to analytical quality control requirements for pesticide residues, in addition to pesticide regulation aspects.

  • Annual Reports in Organic Synthesis-2004

    • 1st Edition
    • Philip M. Weintraub + 3 more
    • English
    Annual Reports in Organic Synthesis 2004 provides an organized annual review of synthetically useful information that proves beneficial to organic chemists, both specialists and nonspecialists in synthesis.Informatio... appears as promptly as possible after the close of the abstracting period and is presented in an organized manner.Chapters I to III are organized by reaction type.Chapter IV deals with methods of synthesizing heterocyclic systems.Chapter V covers the use of protecting groups. Chapter VI deals with those synthetically useful transformations that do not fit easily into the first three chapters. In Chapter VII, the reviews have been divided into sections to help the reader to quickly find a review on a specific topic.

  • The Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry

    Volume 4: Fundamentals of and Applications to Organic (and Organometallic) Compounds
    • 1st Edition
    • Nico Nibbering
    • English
    Volume 4: Organic and Organometallic Compounds presents a cross section of applications in organic and organometallic chemistry in two parts. Chapters 1 to 6 are devoted to the fundamentals whereas chapters 7 and 8 cover applications to organic and organometallic compounds, either available as pure compounds or present in complex mixtures. Chapter 1 describes the theory for organic mass spectrometry, building on and complementing material in Volume 1. The themes for Chapter 2 are the structures and properties of gas-phase ions of conventional, distonic, and non-covalent complexes. Chapter 3 covers methodology used in study of gas-phase ions. Chapters 4 and 5 turn to mechanisms of both unimolecular and bimolecular reactions of ions and include topics in stereochemistry and radical chemistry. Chapter 6 contains a number of articles on the formation and reactivity of metal ion complexes and organometallic cations and anions, drawing connections with molecular recognition, catalysis and organic synthesis. Chapter 7 deals with the structure determination of organic compounds, including chiral compounds and natural products. In chapter 8 are contributions that provide illustrative examples of the determination of organic compounds present at low levels in complex samples that originate from various natural and biological sources. Included is an article on the determination of explosives.

  • Non-destructive Micro Analysis of Cultural Heritage Materials

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 42
    • K. Janssens + 1 more
    • English
    This book provides the scientific and technical background materials of non-destructive methods of microscopic analysis that are suitable for analysing works of art, museum pieces and archeaological artefacts. Written by experts in the field, this multi-author volume contains a number of case studies, illustrating the value of these methods. The book is suited to natural scientists and analysts looking to increase their knowledge of the various methods that are currently available for non-destructive analysis. It is also the perfect resource for museum curators, archaeologists and art-historians seeking to identify one or more suitable methods of analysis that could solve material-related problems.

  • Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 16
    • Gordon Gribble + 1 more
    • English
    This is the sixteenth annual volume of Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry, and covers the literature published during 2003 on most of the important heterocyclic ring systems.This volume opens with two specialized reviews. The first covers 'Lamellarins: Isolation, activity and synthesis' a significant group of biologically active marine alkaloids and the second discusses 'Radical Additions to Pyridines, Quinolines and Isoquinolines'. The remaining chapters examine the recent literature on the common heterocycles in order of increasing ring size and the heteroatoms present.
