This book highlights friccohesity chemistry: the cohesive and adhesive forces in nanoformulations. It shows how this chemistry overcomes the quantum energy barrier to homogenize, encapsulate, and create kinetically balanced nanoemulsions.
This unique monograph explores the in-depth chemistry of allelopathy—the chemical interactions between plants. It covers the development of bioherbicides and the nanoencapsulation of allelochemicals for agriculture, a valuable resource for scientists, students, and industry.
This textbook presents the foundations of electrochemistry, necessary to understand chemical power sources like batteries, hydrogen production, and corrosion protection. It is a systematic presentation from theory to practice, outlining concepts, formulas, and research methods.
This textbook is an introduction to modern physical chemistry, with an emphasis on the core ideas of the science. Concise yet rigorous, it provides sufficient material to solve key problems. For students, researchers, and professionals in chemistry, physics, and engineering.
This book is the most complete description of a photochemical reaction first described 110 years ago. The reaction between a carbonyl compound and an alkene yields an oxetane ring with high selectivity—a key structure in many naturally occurring and bioactive compounds.
Organic synthesis rarely goes to plan. To fight meagre yields and side reactions, you need to master reaction mechanisms. This book moves you from knowing the simple steps of an undergraduate degree to envisioning the convoluted mechanisms needed in professional practice.
Explore the synthesis and application of versatile building blocks in organic synthesis. This book systematically shows how understanding the chemical properties of precursors is essential for preparing a wide range of simple and complex organic compounds.
Weak chemical interactions, i.e., hydrogen and halogen bonds, control the structure of molecular crystals. This book uses vibrational (Raman) spectra to describe their properties and nature, for students and scientists in chemical, biological, and pharmaceutics research.
