      Optics of Charged Particles, 2nd edition, describes how charged particles move in the fields of magnetic and electrostatic dipoles, quadrupoles, higher order multipoles, and field-free regions. Since the first edition, published over 30 years ago, new technologies have emerged and have been used for new ion optical instruments like, for instance, time-of-flight mass analyzers, which are described now. Fully updated and revised, this new edition provides ways to design mass separators, spectrographs, and spectrometers, which are the key tools in organic chemistry and for drug developments, in environmental trace analyses and for investigations in nuclear physics like the search for super heavy elements as well as molecules in space science. The book discusses individual particle trajectories as well as particle beams in space and in phase-space, and it provides guidelines for the design of particle optical instruments. For experienced researchers, working in the field, it highlights the latest developments in new ion optical instruments and provides guidelines and examples for the design of new instruments for the transport of beams of charged particles and the mass/charge or energy/charge analyses of ions. Furthermore, it provides background knowledge required to accurately understand and analyze results, when developing ion-optical instruments. By providing a comprehensive overview of the field of charged particle optics, this edition of the book supports all those working, directly or indirectly, with charged-particle research or the development of ion- and electron-analyzing instruments.

This book provides thorough coverage of the operating mechanisms and dehydrogenation catalyst compatibility in both functionalized and unfunctionalized hydrocarbon systems. In addition, it includes success stories of pincer-metal systems, as well as current and future challenges. The book is an ideal reference for researchers practicing synthetic organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and catalysis in academia and industry. In recent years there has been a surge in the research on hydrocarbon dehydrogenation catalytic systems that are compatible with polar substituents. This helps facilitate formulation of tandem processes that are not limited to hydrocarbon transformation but also to hydrocarbon functionalization in a single pot.

Single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is highlighted as a powerful analytical tool for number-based concentration and size distribution, also from the metrological viewpoint. An emerging approach for the measurement of multi-metal nanoparticles by single-particle inductively coupled plasma time-of-flight mass spectrometry is discussed. Imaging of metal-based nanoparticles by hyphenated inductively coupled plasma-based techniques is also introduced. The potential of different liquid chromatography and field flow fractionation separation techniques hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry is emphasized as a powerful tool in particular for complex matrices and small particles sizes. The use of different microscopic techniques for the characterization of metal-based nanoparticles and characterization of metal-based nanoparticles as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging are presented. Moreover, occurrence, behaviour and fate of inorganic nanoparticles in the environment is overviewed. Finally, the need for quality control standards and reference nano-materials is emphasized throughout.

      Handbook of Analytical Quality by Design addresses the steps involved in analytical method development and validation in an effort to avoid quality crises in later stages. The AQbD approach significantly enhances method performance and robustness which are crucial during inter-laboratory studies and also affect the analytical lifecycle of the developed method. Sections cover sample preparation problems and the usefulness of the QbD concept involving Quality Risk Management (QRM), Design of Experiments (DoE) and Multivariate (MVT) Statistical Approaches to solve by optimizing the developed method, along with validation for different techniques like HPLC, UPLC, UFLC, LC-MS and electrophoresis. This will be an ideal resource for graduate students and professionals working in the pharmaceutical industry, analytical chemistry, regulatory agencies, and those in related academic fields.
