  • Annual Reports in Inorganic and General Syntheses–1975

    • 1st Edition
    • Hans Zimmer + 1 more
    • English
    Annual Reports in Inorganic and General Syntheses–1975 presents an annual review of synthetically useful information that would prove beneficial to nearly all organic chemists, both specialist and nonspecialist in synthesis. It should help relieve some of the information storage burden of the specialist and should aid the nonspecialist who is seeking help with a specific problem to become rapidly aware of recent synthetic advances. This is the fourth volume of "ARIGS" and is organized along the lines used for the last volume. The authors were encouraged to use synthetic aspects as their primary guideline for the arrangement and preservation of the information; however, an occasional deviation to include structural or mechanistic features seemed to be justified in order to reflect the particular features of a given element's chemistry. Complex hydrides were dealt with under the particular elements. As a consequence there is no chapter on simple and complex metal hydrides of main groups I, II, and III in the present volume. As in previous issues of ARIGS, this volume presents an article of a timely subject of special interest. This year’s special feature is the "Synthesis of Radiopharmaceuticals by the Reduction of 99m TcO4-."

  • Orbital Symmetry

    A Problem-Solving Approach
    • 1st Edition
    • Roland E. Lehr + 1 more
    • English
    Orbital Symmetry: A Problem-Solving Approach was born of the necessity to present to students Woodward and Hoffmann's approach to pericyclic reactions. Hence the tone is introductory, and the book is addressed primarily to an audience of advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The text seeks to familiarize the readers with several of the more often encountered methods of analyzing pericyclic reactions, and these methods should enable the analysis of virtually all of them. Problem solving is the foundation of the approach. Both the introductory and theory sections include problems to prepare the reader for the more extensive chapters of problems that follow. All problems (except those in Chapter VII) are answered in the text and are fully referenced where appropriate. Many of the problems require the use of molecular models if they are to be appreciated. Prentice-Hall's ""Framework Molecular Models"" and Benjamin's ""Maruzen Models"" are best suited for the construction of the highly strained molecules often encountered in the problems, and their use is recommended.
