Problem-Oriented Analytical Chemistry Driven by Chemometrics covers challenges that are relevant to many fields using analytical techniques, including food quality and safety, environmental studies, product authentication, and petrochemistry using an analytical data science approach. The book's novel approach starts from case studies, allowing analytical chemists to understand how seemingly impenetrable chemometrics techniques can be applied to solve problems. It is written primarily to assist graduate and postdoc analytical chemists and early researchers, but has applicability to industry, too.Many analytical chemists dealing with complex, real-world problems face significant difficulties extracting information from their data. In many cases, solutions are available in the chemometrics arena but relevant books are usually too technical and do not always focus on the 'general perspective' needed by the analyst when facing those complex tools.

Fundamental Coordination Ability of s-Block Metal Ions: New Aspects and Its Role in Solution Reactions delves into the intricate reaction chemistry and coordination chemistry of s-block metal ions in various solutions. This book explores the crystallization and subsequent re-dissolution of s-block metal compounds from solutions, as well as their structures and the biochemistry of these ions in living organisms. By examining the complex formation of s-block metal ions with crown ethers, the book highlights the significant advancements in host-guest chemistry involving s-block metal ions. Additionally, it discusses recent synthesization of lighter metal coordination polymers, and more.The complex formation of s-block metal ions with crown ethers was discovered by C. J. Pedersen in 1967, and since then, host-guest chemistry of s-block metal ions have been highly developed. In recent years, many lighter metal coordination polymers have been synthesized actively. In this book, some “salt effects” or abnormal phenomena are accounted for in terms of coordination interaction with s-block metal ions in solution. The mechanism of enhanced oxidation ability of dilute nitric acid is discussed and the dissolution of pure gold in seawater with nitric acid is demonstrated. This important reference book will be useful to inorganic chemists, specifically those working in solution chemistry, main group metal chemistry and supramolecular chemistry, both in industry and academia.
