On the Configurational Stability of the Carbon-nitrogen Double Bond
Author: Earl Henry WagenerThe Chemistry of the Carbon-nitrogen Double Bond
Author: Saul PataiStereochemistry
Author: David G. MorrisPublisher: Royal Society of Chemistry
ISBN: 9780854046027
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
This text for undergraduate students presents an introduction to stereochemistry--the study of the three-dimensional structure of molecules--with a focus on organic chemistry. In eight chapters, Morris (U. of Glasgow) discusses topics such as the hybridization, conformation, and configuration of simple molecules; chiral molecules; molecules with two or more stereogenic centers; stereoisomerism in cyclic structures; and substitution reactions at saturated carbon. Coverage extends to the use of NMR spectroscopy in stereochemistry. c. Book News Inc.
Chemistry of Tin

ISBN: 9401149380
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
In common with the editor of the first edition, my own personal involvement with tin chemistry began when I had the privilege of studying for a PhD degree under the supervision of Professor Alwyn G. Davies FRS at University College London (UCL) almost exactly 30 years ago. Then, following 21 years' service with the International Tin Research Institute, it was a great pleasure for me when the wheel turned full circle and, in 1994, Alwyn - now an Emeritus Professor - asked me to return to UCL as an Honorary Research Fellow in the Chemistry Department. One of my first tasks was when I received an invitation from Blackie A&P to edit the second edition of the Chemistry of Tin, which I was delighted to accept, since it enabled me to continued my life-long interest in tin chemistry and to maintain contact with my former friends and colleagues, many of whom have contributed to this book.

Molecular Photoswitches
Author: Zbigniew L. PianowskiPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527827617
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1577
Book Description
A comprehensive overview about the emerging field of photoswitches and their applications in materials science and biology Molecular Photoswitches guides the reader through the basic molecular structures of photochromic compounds and their applications in the area of photoresponsive materials as well as in the biological context. The initial chapters describe individual classes of molecular photoswitches, introducing their principles of photochromism, typical switching wavelengths, thermal stability of photoisomers and other key information, which is ordinarily spread in the literature. These classes comprise i.a. azobenzenes, diazocines, arylazoheterocycles, arylhydrazones, indigoids, photochromic imines, or acylhydrazones. The book also covers: Catalysis with molecular switches Applications in photochromic porous materials, liquid crystals, or nanoparticles Light-responsive molecular machines, logic devices, and molecular magnets Photomodulation of biological systems: photoswitchable biopolymers, lightmodulated antibiotics, cytotoxins, ion channel inhibitors, light-propelled artificial muscles, and computationally designed photochromic proteins This two-volume work is a valuable guide for researchers and non-experts working in the field of photochemistry, organic chemistry, catalysis, materials science, biology, and medicine.

Chemical Principles of Textile Conservation
Author: Agnes Timar-BalazsyPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113600033X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
'Chemical Principles of Textile Conservation' provides must-have knowledge for conservators who do not always have a scientific background. This vital book brings together from many sources the material science necessary to understand the properties, deterioration and investigation of textile artefacts. It also aids understanding of the chemical processes during various treatments, such as: cleaning; humidification; drying; disinfestation; disinfection; and the use of adhesives and consolidants in conservation of historical textiles. Textile conservators will now have ready access to the necessary knowledge to understand the chemistry of the objects they are asked to treat and to make informed decisions about how to preserve textiles. The combination of a chemist and a conservator provides the perfect authorial team. It ensures a unique dual function of the text which provides textile conservators with vital chemical knowledge and gives scientists an understanding of textile conservation necessary to direct their research. The many practical examples and case studies illustrate the utility of the relatively large chemical introduction and the essential chemical information which is included. The case studies, many illustrated in colour, range from the treatment of the Ghandis' clothes, high-altitude flying suits and a Mary Quant raincoat, to the Hungarian Coronation Mantle.
The Decarbonization Delusion
Author: Andrew MoorePublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0197664830
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
"We take carbon for granted so much that we rarely consider how carbon's amazing properties lead to its ubiquity in the energy and fabric of life and human civilization. And yet we are now trying to decarbonize. This book gives an overview and analysis of some of the most pressing challenges and considerations in the area of decarbonization of economies. It does so from the perspective of chemistry and biology, and comes to the conclusion that we are likely to do more environmental damage by breaking free from carbon than if we embrace the impressive capacity that carbon-based energy-carriers and materials have for creating circular economies with zero net CO2 emissions. Biology has done this sustainably for 3.5 billion years, and we must learn from that enormous lesson"--
