ADVANCED ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: Reaction Mechanisms
CHEMISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT, 2/E R.A. Bailey, H.M. Clark, J.P. Ferris, S. Krause, and R.L. Strong
Reinhard Bruckner
Emphasizing new science in environmental chemistry, this book describes ecosystems and atmosphere and the practice of industrial ecology applied to chemical science. Includes extensive coverage of nuclear chemistry, covering both natural environmental sources and anthropogenic sources, their impacts on health, and their role in energy production.
A best-selling mechanistic organic chemistry text in German, this text's translation into English fills a long-existing need for a modern, thorough and accessible treatment of reaction mechanisms for students of organic chemistry at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level. Appropriate for undergraduates and postgraduates in chemistry with a strong concentration in organic chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, or chemical engineering. $84.95 · ISBN: 0-12-138110-2 · 2001
$89.95 · ISBN: 0-12-073461-3 · 2002 Our new editions in the Complementary Science Series are designed for non-experts and students at all stages: FUNDAMENTALS OF QUANTUM CHEMISTRY 2/E by James House
(S>
An introduction to the principles of quantum mechanics needed in physical chemistry. Mathematical tools are developed as needed and only basis calculus, chemistry, and physics is assumed. Applications include atomic and molecular structure, spectroscopy, alpha decay, tunneling, and superconductivity. New edition includes sections on perturbation theory, orbital symmetry of diatomic molecules, the Huckel MO method and Woodward/Hoffman rules as well as a new chapter on SCF and Hartree-Fock methods.
