  • Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy

    Principles and Spectral Interpretation
    • 2nd Edition
    • Peter Larkin
    • English
    Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy, Principles and Spectral Interpretation, Second Edition provides a solid introduction to vibrational spectroscopy with an emphasis on developing critical interpretation skills. This book fully integrates the use of both IR and Raman spectroscopy as spectral interpretation tools, enabling the user to utilize the strength of both techniques while also recognizing their weaknesses. This second edition more than doubles the amount of interpreted IR and Raman spectra standards and spectral unknowns. The chapter on characteristic group frequencies is expanded to include increased discussions of sulphur and phosphorus organics, aromatic and heteroaromatics as well as inorganic compounds. New topics include a discussion of crystal lattice vibrations (low frequency/THz), confocal Raman microscopy, spatial resolution in IR and Raman microscopy, as well as criteria for selecting Raman excitation wavelengths. These additions accommodate the growing use of vibrational spectroscopy for process analytical monitoring, nanomaterial investigations, and structural and identity determinations to an increasing user base in both industry and academia.

  • Frontiers and Advances in Molecular Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Jaan Laane
    • English
    Frontiers and Advances in Molecular Spectroscopy once again brings together the most eminent scientists from around the world to describe their work at the cutting-edge of molecular spectroscopy. Much of what we know about atoms, molecules and the nature of matter has been obtained using spectroscopy over the last one hundred years or so. Going far beyond the topics discussed in Jaan Laane’s earlier book on the subject, these chapters describe new methodologies and applications, instrumental developments and theory, which are taking spectroscopy into still new frontiers. The robust range of topics once again demonstrates the wide utility of spectroscopic techniques. New topics include ultrafast spectroscopy of the transition state, SERS/far-uv spectroscopy, femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and biosensors, vibrational optical activity, ultrafast two-dimensional spectroscopy, biology with x-ray lasers, isomerization dynamics and hydrogen bonding, single molecule imaging, spectra of intermediates, matrix isolation spectroscopy and more.

  • Advances in Physical Organic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 51
    • English
    Advances in Physical Organic Chemistry, Volume 51, the latest release in the series, is the definitive resource for authoritative reviews of work in physical organic chemistry. It provides a valuable source of information for not only physical organic chemists applying their expertise to both novel and traditional problems, but also for non-specialists across diverse areas who identify a physical organic component in their approach to research. Its hallmark is a quantitative, molecular level understanding of phenomena across a diverse range of disciplines.

  • Recent Advances in Aminocatalyzed Cascade Reactions

    • 1st Edition
    • Vincent Coeffard + 2 more
    • English
    Recent Advances in Aminocatalyzed Cascade Reactions addresses the recent advances in asymmetric aminocatalyzed cascade transformations, including both the methodological aspects and the applications in the multi-step synthesis of biorelevant compounds. The most relevant synthetic methods merging several aminocatalytic activation modes (enamine, iminium, dienamine, trienamine…) are presented. The authors include selected examples of multi-step synthesis towards biorelevant molecules, incorporated to outline the synthetic potential of aminocatalyzed cascade reactions.

  • Laboratory Statistics

    Methods in Chemistry and Health Sciences
    • 2nd Edition
    • Anders Kallner
    • English
    Laboratory Statistics: Methods in Chemistry and Health Science, Second Edition, presents common strategies for comparing and evaluating numerical laboratory data. In particular, the text deals with the type of data and problems that laboratory scientists and students in analytical chemistry, clinical chemistry, epidemiology, and clinical research face on a daily basis. This book takes the mystery out of statistics and provides simple, hands-on instructions in the format of everyday formulas. Spreadsheet shortcuts and functions are included, along with many simple worked examples. This book is a must-have guide to applied statistics in the lab that will result in improved experimental design and analysis. This thoroughly revised second edition includes several new sections, more examples, and all formulas in Excel code.

  • Particles at Interfaces

    Interactions, Deposition, Structure
    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 20
    • Zbigniew Adamczyk
    • English
    Particles and Interfaces: Interaction, Deposition, Structure, Volume 20, Second Edition unifies particle and protein adsorption phenomena by presenting recent developments in this growing field of nanoscience. While experimental data is available in vast quantities, there is a deficit in quality interpretation of that data. This title provides such information, emphasizing the basic physics behind practical problems, thus empowering the reader to estimate relevant effects. The book includes solved problems of particle transport under non-linear conditions and their relevance to predicting protein adsorption, including an entirely new chapter devoted to polyelectrolyte and protein adsorption at solid/liquid and solid/gas interfaces.

    Electronic Structure of Molecules: Diatomic Molecules, Small Molecules, Saturated Hydrocarbons, Conjugated Molecules, Molecules of Biochemical Interest focuses on the study of the electronic structure of molecules and associated molecular properties. The publication first offers information on hydrogen ion-molecule and various kinds of molecular orbitals and helium atom and hydrogen molecule. Discussions focus on the method of linear combinations of atomic orbitals, method of the united atoms, and remarks on helium atom and hydrogen molecule. The text then elaborates on diatomic molecules and general problems in the structure of molecules. The book touches on molecules containing only cores and simple bonds and small molecules formed by simple bonds and unshared electrons. Topics include alicyclic paraffins and the idea of a simple bond, methane, molecules of ammonia and water in their equilibrium configurations, and relationship between electronic structure and the position of nuclei. The publication is a valuable source material for readers interested in the electronic structure of molecules.
