Book Description
Since the industrial revolution, chlorine remains an iconic molecule even though its production by the electrolysis of sodium chloride is extremely energy intensive. The rationale behind this book is to present useful and industrially relevant examples for alternatives to chlorine in synthesis. This multi-authored volume presents numerous contributions from an international spectrum of authors that demonstrate how to facilitate the development of industrially relevant and implementable breakthrough technologies. This volume will interest individuals working in organic synthesis in industry and academia who are working in Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technologies.

Book Description
A compelling history of science from 1900 to the present day, this is the first book to survey modern developments in science during a century of unprecedented change, conflict and uncertainty. The scope is global. Science's claim to access universal truths about the natural world made it an irresistible resource for industrial empires, ideological programs, and environmental campaigners during this period. Science has been at the heart of twentieth century history - from Einstein's new physics to the Manhattan Project, from eugenics to the Human Genome Project, or from the wonders of penicillin to the promises of biotechnology. For some science would only thrive if autonomous and kept separate from the political world, while for others science was the best guide to a planned and better future. Science was both a routine, if essential, part of an orderly society, and the disruptive source of bewildering transformation. Jon Agar draws on a wave of recent scholarship that explores science from interdisciplinary perspectives to offer a readable synthesis that will be ideal for anyone curious about the profound place of science in the modern world.

Book Description
Increasing attention is being paid to the development of effective technologies for the sequestration of CO2 and its storage. Hopefully, this will result in processes that can lead to its valorisation as a chemical, e.g., for the regeneration of fuels, but also for the production of intermediates. These are usually energy demands and rather slow processes, requiring energy input and catalysts. Some examples are the innovative strategies for the hydrogenation, photoconversion, or electroreduction of carbon dioxide. This book collects original research papers, reviews, and commentaries focused on the challenges related to the valorisation and conversion of CO2.

Book Description
Advances in Quantum Chemical Topology Beyond QTAIM provides a complete overview of the field, starting with traditional methods and then covering key steps to the latest state-of-the-art extensions of QTAIM. The book supports researchers by compiling and reviewing key methods, comparing different algorithms, and providing computational results to show the efficacy of the approaches. Beginning with an introduction to quantum chemistry, QTAIM and key extensions, the book goes on to discuss interacting quantum atoms and related energy properties, explores partitioning methods, and compares algorithms for QTAIM. Partitioning schemes are them compared in more detail before applications are explored and future developments discussed. Drawing together the knowledge of key authorities in the area, this book provides a comprehensive, pedogeological guide to this insightful theory for all those interested in modelling, exploring and understanding molecular properties. - Provides a contemporary review of the extensions and application of QTAIM methods - Compiles all extensions of QTAIM in one place for easy reference - Includes a chapter with an Introduction to Quantum Chemistry - Presents complex information at a level accessible to those engaged in theoretical/computational chemistry
