    • English
    Mathematics for Physical Chemistry is the ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduates or graduate students who want to sharpen their mathematics skills while they are enrolled in a physical chemistry course. Solved examples and problems, interspersed throughout the presentation and intended to be worked when met in the text, encourage self-study by students new to the material. The author provides readers with a review of calculus and differential equations that will enable them to succeed in a physical chemistry course. An ideal reference text for practicing chemists as well.

  • Advances in Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 2
    • M. Charton + 1 more
    • English
    Quantitative structure property relationships (QSPR) have become a major method of chemical research. In the course of this development the field has suffered from fragmentation. Applications of QSPR are found in all major chemical disciplines including physical organic, physical, medicinal, agricultural, biological, enviromental, and polymer chemistry. Frequently workers in one area are unaware of parameterizations and models used in other ares which they might well find useful. The is a common thread which runs through these widely diverse areas. The basic principles, parameterizations and methodology are the same or similar throughout.The object of this series is to provide interesting and timely reviews covering all aspects of the field. It encourages the transfer of new methods, techniques, and parameterizations from the area in which they were developed to other areas that can make good use of them. In view of the widespread use of QSPR we believe that this is an important objective. This series will provide the cross-fertilization which is sorely needed.

  • Advances in Medicinal Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 4
    • B.E. Maryanoff + 1 more
    • English
    Volume 4 of Advances in Medicinal Chemistry is comprised of six chapters on a wide range of topics in medicinal chemistry, including molecular modeling, structure-based drug design, organic synthesis, peptide conformational analysis, biological assessment, structure-activity correlation, and lead optimization. Chapter 1 presents an account about amino acid-based peptide mimetics corresponding to b-turn, loop, helical motifs in proteins as a probe of ligand-receptor and ligand-enzyme molecular interactions. Chapter 2 addresses new facets of the medicinal chemistry of the important anticancer drug Taxol® (paclitaxel). Chapter 3 relates an account of the search for new drugs for the treatment of malaria based on the natural product artemisinin. Chapter 4 applies computational chemistry to the evaluation of compound libraries for biological testing. Chapter 5 describes the construction of a 3-dimensional molecular model of the human thrombin receptor, the first protease-activated G-protein coupled receptor (PAR-1), as a means to explore the intermolecular contacts involved in agonist peptide recognition. Finally, Chapter 6 describes the research conducted at Merck on inhibitors of farnesyl transferase as a potential treatment for human cancers.

  • Pauling's Legacy

    Modern Modelling of the Chemical Bond
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 6
    • Z.B. Maksic + 1 more
    • English
    Theory and experiment in chemistry today provide a wealth of data, but such data have no meaning unless they are correctly interpreted by sound and transparent physical models. Linus Pauling was a grandmaster in the modelling of molecular properties. Indeed, many of his models have served chemistry for decades and that has been his lasting legacy for chemists all over the world.The aim of this book is to put such simple models into the language of modern quantum chemistry, thus providing a deeper justification for many of Pauling's ideas and concepts. However, it should be stressed that many contributions to this work, written by some of the world's most prominent theoretical chemists, do not merely follow Pauling's footprints. By taking his example, they made bold leaps forward to overcome the limitations of the old models, thereby opening new scientific vistas.This book is an important contribution to the chemical literature. It is an almost obligatory textbook for postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers in physical chemistry, chemical physics and advanced physical organic chemistry.

  • Coatings on Glass

    • 2nd Edition
    • H. Pulker + 1 more
    • English
    This is the second, revised edition of a book that has already proved invaluable to a wide range of readers. Written by a scientist for scientists and technical people, it goes beyond the subject matter indicated by the title, filling the gap which previously existed in the available technical literature. It includes a wealth of information for physicists, chemists and engineers who need to know more about thin films for research purposes, or who want to use this special form of solid material to achieve a variety of application-oriented goals.

  • Column Handbook for Size Exclusion Chromatography

    • 1st Edition
    • Chi-san Wu
    • English
    Column Handbook for Size Exclusion Chromatography is the first comprehensive reference to provide everything one needs to know about commercial analytical and preparative columns for size exclusion and gel filtration chromatography (SEC and GFC). SEC is now widely used as a quality assurance method in the polymer industry (both synthetic and biopolymers) to determine molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The Handbook contains contributions from every column manufacturer around the world and from many experienced column users. It covers the technology, characterization, application, evaluation, maintenance, and quality control of analytical and preparative columns for SEC and GFC. Also included are columns for two closely related techniques, hydrodynamic chromatography and high osmotic pressure chromatography.

  • Comprehensive Supramolecular Chemistry, Volume 3

    Cyclodextrins
    • 1st Edition
    • J. Szejtli + 1 more
    • English
    The total number of papers, conferences, abstracts and patents dedicated to cyclodextrins by the end of 1995 will be about 12,000 in number. This vast number of publications deals with the chemistry (structure, chemical reactivity), biology (enzymology, metabolism, toxicity, direct therapeutic effects), inclusion complex forming capacity and its consequences, and industrial utilization of cyclodextrins (in drugs, foods, cosmetics, chromatography, catalysis biotechnology, diagnostics etc) in unlimited numbers of products and technologies.This volume pulls all this information together, covering the chemistry, biology and industrial application of cyclodextrins as molecular encapsulating agents in research methods, analytical procedures, industrial technologies and products.

    In this volume, an overview of the expanse of bioinorganic systems that involve supramolecular chemistry has been assembled. It commences with introductions to the supramolecular aspects of bioinorganic synthetic analogues and of metalloprotein structure and function. From there, a range of topics involving diverse metallobiomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, and their synthetic analogues) are developed.

  • Comprehensive Supramolecular Chemistry, Volume 6

    Solid-State Supramolecular Chemistry: Crystal Engineering
    • 1st Edition
    • D.D. MacNicol + 2 more
    • English
    This volume, containing 27 chapters, provides a state-of-the-art account of the chemistry of solid-state supramolecular systems. Following a valuable introductory chapter reviewing important general principles, the coherent coverage is structured in the form of a series ofcontributions all written by experts in the respective areas comprehensively described. Throughout the volume, emphasis is placed not only on the design and structure of new hostsystems but also on practical applications of these novel materials in real chemical situations. The crystal engineering methods described relate to the synthesis of both organic and inorganictailor-made hosts. Also the reader is presented with highly relevant descriptions ofthermodynamic and kinetic considerations germane to the formation crystalline inclusioncompounds. The final chapter gives a fascinating account of the self-organisation of moleculesin two and three dimensions, crucially important to any process of crystal nucleation.
