This unique book now provides a comprehensive, practical account of the key concepts involved in synthesising compounds and focuses on putting the planning into practice. The two themes of the book are strategy and control: solving problems either by finding an alternative strategy or by controlling any established strategy to make it work. The book is divided into five sections that deal with selectivity, carbon-carbon single bonds, carbon- carbon double bonds, stereochemistry and functional group strategy. * A comprehensive, practical account of the key concepts involved in synthesising compounds * Takes a mechanistic approach, which explains reactions and gives guidelines on how reactions might behave in different situations * Focuses on reactions that really work rather than those with limited application * Contains extensive, up-to-date references in each chapter Students and professional chemists familiar with Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach will enjoy the leap into a book designed for chemists at the coalface of organic synthesis 9488 KB RAR’d PDF ~~~ Structures and Structure Determination (Molecular Sieves) By * Publisher: Springer * Number Of Pages: 216 * Publication Date: 1999-07-20 * ISBN / ASIN: 3540643338 Book Description: Molecular Sieves - Science and Technology will cover, in a comprehensive manner, the science and technology of zeolites and all related microporous and mesoporous materials.

This process has provided a basis for maintaining soil fertility since the beginning of organised agriculture, yet its very existence was confirmed only just over a century ago. In the intervening years, an enormous intellectual effort has dispersed much of the mystery surrounding biological nitrogen fixation. Biological fixation is widely exploited in agriculture, as are nitrogen fertilisers prepared for the last hundred years under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure. However, despite all our efforts, the fundamental nature of the reactions involved at the heart of the biological process remain unknown. This book aims to describe what we have learned in the last one hundred years or so about biological nitrogen fixation, about what its chemistry appears to be, and how it is applied in agriculture. This ambitious objective has not been attempted recently. It is aimed at students and those who wish to enter these very challenging areas of research, and who need to learn the state of the art at the turn of the millennium. The authors are all acknowledged world experts in their fields. They have prepared concise, well referenced and authoritative accounts of their subjects. This book provides a unique summary of the current state of knowledge that will be indispensable to all students and researchers, actual and potential, interested in biological nitrogen fixation ~~~ Statistical Mechanics: A Concise Introduction for Chemists By B. Widom * Publisher: Cambridge University Press * Number Of Pages: 180 * Publication Date: 2002-05-06 * Sales Rank: 1789824 * ISBN / ASIN: 0521811198 Book Description: This is an introduction to statistical mechanics, intended to be used either in an undergraduate physical chemistry course or by beginning graduate students with little undergraduate background in the subject. It assumes familiarity with thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, the kinetic theory of gases, quantum mechanics and spectroscopy, at the level at which these subjects are normally treated in undergraduate physical chemistry. Highly illustrated with numerous exercises and worked solutions, it provides a concise, up-to-date treatise of statistical mechanics and is ideally suited to use in one semester courses 1.1 MB Rar'd PDF ~~~ Gas Dynamics By Ernst Becker * Publisher: Academic Press * Number Of Pages: 311 * Publication Date: 1968 * ISBN / ASIN: B0000EG4L6 Filetype: PDF Size: 10.719 KB ~~~ Cement chemistry By * Publisher: Academic Press * Number Of Pages: 475 * Publication Date: 1990-07 * ISBN / ASIN: 012683900X Cement chemistry--authoritative, comprehensive...excellent! The most authoritative book there is for novice and specialist chemists and material scientists in the field of cement chemistry. H.F.W. Taylor, the pope in the field of (applied) cement crystallography, writes clearly and concisely on a topic he has seen develop over the last half century. He demonstrates with great clarity--through the "looking glass" that crystallography provides--how the complex subject of cement chemistry can be understood: how silicate and aluminate cement phases are produced, how they behave hydraulically and the ensuing structure and properties of the hardened materials. This book also boasts a comprehensive bibliography of references, which have been skillfully screened to crystallise the most important literature contributions from the abounding amount that has been produced in this field up to 1996--A needles in the haystack task, very well accomplished. This book is the most comprehensive literature review on the subject 9623 KB ~~~ Biogeochemistry of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter * Publisher: Academic Press * Number Of Pages: 774 * Publication Date: 2002-06 * ISBN / ASIN: 0123238412 Book Description: Interest in marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is very high because it plays an important role in oceanic and global carbon cycling, which in turn impacts weather. Understanding the processes involved in the transformations of carbon, phosphorus, nitrogen, and other major elements in the oceans has been a primary goal of marine biogeochemists and oceanographers over the past decade. This book, in 16 chapters with over 170 figures and tables, reports on the major advances in this area by a distinguished group of international chemical and biological oceanographers. Additionally, it focuses on the role of DOM in elemental cycling - where the greatest informational need currently exists. Biological cycling of the major elements through DOM is assessed throughout, with particular emphasis on the role of marine microbes as active agents in the processing of this materialThe ocean science community's advances for inclusion of DOM in both ecosystem and global circulation models are evaluated 39.8 RAR'D PDFs ~~~ Sodium Sulfate : Handbook of Deposits, Processing & Use By Donald E.
