  • Chemistry and Pharmacology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 49
    • English
    Internationally acclaimed for more than 40 years, this Series, founded by the late Professor R.H.F. Manske, continues to provide outstanding coverage of the rapidly expanding field of the chemotaxonomy, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis, and biology of all classes of alkaloids from higher and lower plants, marine organisms, or various terrestrial animals. Each volume provides, through its distinguished authors, up-to-date and detailed coverage of particular classes or sources of alkaloids. Over the years, this Series has become the standard in natural product chemistry to which all other book series aspire. The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Pharmacology endures as an essential reference for all naturalproduct chemists and biologists who have an interest in alkaloids, their diversity, and their unique biological profile.

  • Imidazole and Benzimidazole Synthesis

    • 1st Edition
    • M. R. Grimmett
    • English
    Imidazole and Benzimidazole Synthesis is a comprehensive survey of the known methods of syntheses and ring modification. It brings together the multitude of synthesis of the imidazole ring in a systemic way interms of specific bond formation, and recommends the most attractive synthetic approaches. It also collects non-ring-synthetic approaches to classes of compounds such as nitro-, halogeno-, and amino-imidazoles, and covers the synthesis of N-substituted compounds and preparations of specific isomers.

  • Advances in Asymmetric Synthesis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 2
    • Bozzano G Luisa
    • English

  • Biotechnological Innovations in Chemical Synthesis

    • 1st Edition
    • BIOTOL + 2 more
    • English
    Demonstrates how biological catalysis can be applied to the production of value added chemicals. Use is made of a diverse range of case studies to give a breadth of experience. It also reveals how bio-systems are being employed to produce a wide range of valuable commodities including antibiotics and other therapeutics, intermediary metabolites such as citrate, malate, gels and other valuable polymers.

  • Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 68
    • English
    The first chapter in this volume, by E.S.H. El-Ashry, represents the second part of a trilogy on nucleosides he began in Volume 67. This chapter deals with diseco-nucleosides, or analogs of nucleosides in which thereare two bond disconnections. Other chapters deal with the importance of cyclic sulfates as intermediates in organic synthesis, methlypyridines and other methylazines as precursors to biand polyheterocycles, and the variety of heterocycles in nucleoside analogs in heteromonocyclic bases.

  • Inorganic Chemistry

    An Industrial and Environmental Perspective
    • 1st Edition
    • Thomas W. Swaddle
    • English
    This book addresses the question, What is inorganic chemistry good for? rather than the more traditional question, How can we develop a theoretical basis for inorganic chemistry from sophisticated theories of bonding? The book prepares students of science or engineering for entry into the multi-billion-dollar inorganic chemical and related industries, and for rational approaches to environmental problems such as pollution abatement, corrosion control, and water treatment. A much expanded and updated revision of the 1990 text, Applied Inorganic Chemistry (University of Calgary Press), Inorganic Chemistry covers topics including atmospheric pollution and its abatement, water conditioning, fertilizers, cement chemistry, extractive metallurgy, metallic corrosion, catalysts, fuel cells and advanced batter technology, pulp and paper production, explosives, supercritical fluids, sol-gel science, materials for electronics, and superconductors. Though the book waswritten as a textbook for undergraduates with a background of freshman chemistry, it will also be a valuable sourcebook for practicing chemists, engineers, environmental scientists, geologists, and educators.

  • Handbook of Chemical Compound Data for Process Safety

    • 1st Edition
    • Carl L. Yaws
    • English
    This book provides comprehensive safety and health-related data for hydrocarbons and organic chemicals as well as selected data for inorganic chemicals.

  • Instrumental Methods in Food Analysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 18
    • J.R.J. Paré + 1 more
    • English
    Instrumental Methods in Food Analysis is aimed at graduate students in the science, technology and engineering of food and nutrition who have completed an advanced course in food analysis. The book is designed to fit in with one or more such courses, as it covers the whole range of methods applied to food analysis, including chromatographic techniques (HPLC and GC), spectroscopic techniques (AA and ICP), electroanalytical and electrophoresis techniques.No analysis can be made without appropriate sample preparation and in view of the present economic climate, the search for new ways to prepare samples is becoming increasingly important. Guided by the need for environmentally-frie... technologies, the editors chose two, relatively new techniques, the microwave-assisted processes (MAPTM (Chapter 10) and supercritical fluid extraction (Chapter 11).Features of this book:- is one the few academic books on food analysis specifically designed for a one semester or one year course-it contains updated information- the coverage gives a good balance between theory, and applications of techniques to various food commodities.The chapters are divided into two distinct sections: the first is a description of the basic theory regarding the technique and the second is dedicated to a description of examples to which the reader can relate in his/her daily work.

  • Fuzzy Logic in Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Dennis H. Rouvray
    • English
    Fuzzy Logic has gained increasing acceptance as a way to deal with complexity and uncertainty in many areas of science and engineering. This book is the first to address its practical applications to chemical systems. Ten distinguished authors discuss the role of fuzzy logic in the characterization of a variety of chemical concepts, including chirality, quantum systems, molecular engineering and design, and hierarchical classification methods. Fuzzy Logic in Chemistry will appeal to both students and professionals who are seeking to learn more about theory and applications in an area of growing importance to the physical sciences.

  • Advances in Atomic Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • J. Sneddon
    • English
    This series describes selected advances in the area of atomic spectroscopy. It is primarily intended for the reader who has a background in atmoic spectroscopy; suitable to the novice and expert. Although a widely used and accepted method for metal and non-metal analysis in a variety of complex samples, Advances in Atomic Spectroscopy covers a wide range of materials. Each Chapter will completely cover an area of atomic spectroscopy where rapid development has occurred.
