Bøger i Lecture Notes in Chemistry serien

In each section one or more chapters illustrates relevant aspects of each field, such as artificial photosynthesis and solar energy conversion (energy), light emitting devices and photochromic dyes (technology), and photodynamic therapy and solar filters (medicine).

This volume reviews the latest trends in organic optoelectronic materials. The molecular structures, synthesis methods, physicochemical and optoelectronic properties of the organic optoelectronic materials are also introduced and described in detail.

This lecture notes book presents how enhanced structural information of biomolecular ions can be obtained from interaction with photons of specific frequency - laser light.

"Applied Cross-Coupling Reactions" provides students and teachers of advanced organic chemistry with an overview of the history, mechanisms and applications of cross-coupling reactions.

Andre Julg has published several papers concerning the continuity of classical physics and quantum mechanics. He provides a provocative conclusion in this book: the quantum formalism can be effectively interpreted within the framework of classical physics, provided some minor rearrangements are accepted.

The work presented here is a result of an extended collaboration with a number of coworkers and guests. McKenna from the University of Glasgow, M. Last but not least, I thank my dear wife Hanny and our children Christian, Martin and Andrea who suffered, without complaint, daddy's absence for so many hours.

Most of the properties of a metal-electrolyte interface, even the spe cific nature of an electrode reaction, proneness of a metal to cor rosion, etc., are primarily determined by the electrical double layer (EDL) at this boundary.

While this theory vividly explains thermochemical stability, future research could benefit from a better understanding of bond dissociation: if we learn how the environment of a molecule affects its charges, we also learn how it modifies bond dissociation in that molecule.

The present monograph is a continuation of Cyvin SJ, Brunvoll J and Cyvin (1991c), a reference to be found in Bibliography.

The Exploration of Supramolecular Systems and Nanostructures by Photochemical Techniques provides a comprehensive view of the most commonly used photochemical and photophysical techniques and their applications to the study of supramolecular systems.

This book is an ideal accompaniment for researchers taking courses in olefin polymerization and also serves as a valuable resource for teachers and lecturers of chemistry when planning and researching material for advanced lecture courses.

Protein engineering endeavors to design new peptides and proteins or to change the structural and/or functional characteristics of existing ones for specific purposes, opening the way for the development of new drugs.

Volumes I-III of Relativistic Theory of Atoms and Molecules constitute the only available bibliography on related calculations. The volume gives the user a comprehensive bibliography on relativistic atomic and molecular calculations, including studies on the Dirac equation and related solid-state work.

From December 1985 through March 1986 the text of this book formed the basis of an in-hours course taught by the author at Harry Diamond Laborato ries. The original draft of these notes was based on a collection of lectures delivered at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil, between 2 November 1981 and 2 December 1981.

The main subjects are: - a comprehensive mathematical description of molecular systems, - a new reaction path concept, - an algorithm for following the reaction path. The reaction path's tangent is determined by an excitation vector and the saddle points surrounding a minimizer can be localized without further information.

A reference work which lists calculations related to the relativistic effects of the properties of the heavier atoms and molecules. The material is organized by subject into tables, each containing concise characterizations.

Connectivity is important topological property of a molecule which allows a conceptual qualitative understanding, via a non numerical analysis, of many chemical phenomena or at least that part of phenomenon which depends on topology.

One should distinguish between coordination numbers and hydration numbers. Following Bockris

The aim of these notes is to provtde a summary and concise introduction to elementary molecular orbital theory, with an emphasis on semiempirical methods. The aim of semiempirical methods mainly lies in a semiquantitative classification of electronic pro perties and in the search for regularities within given classes of larger molecules.

Although the first attempts for preserving material from the cultural heritage on a scientific basis are found in the 19th century pioneer chemistry years, only the use of sophisticated physicochemical techniques results in effective identification and deterioration studies of monuments and objects, and in reliable intervention procedures.

Contemporary chemical reaction theory is the characterization of Potential Energy Hypersurfaces (PES). It provides tools for studying chemical reactions by calculating reaction paths and related curves. The book addresses students and researchers in Theoretical Chemistry, Chemical Kinetics and related fields.

The book provides a general, broad approach to aspects of perturbation theory. The aim has been to cover all topics of interest, from construction, analysis, and summation of perturbation series to applications. Emphasis is placed on simple methods, as well as clear, intuitive ideas stemming from the physics of systems of interest.

"Applied Cross-Coupling Reactions" provides students and teachers of advanced organic chemistry with an overview of the history, mechanisms and applications of cross-coupling reactions.

This volume contains the lectures given at the theoretical chemistry workshop in 1996 in Mariapfarr, Austria. Topics addressed include: hypersurfaces and coordinate systems; interpolation and fitting; empirical force fields; and the Born-Oppenheimer expansion.

The author summarizes the development and the applications of overlap determinant method in various fields of pericyclic reactivity.
