Researchers are conducting active research in different fields of engineering, science and technology by adopting the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry and the inherent green methodologies to devise new processes with a view to help protect and ultimately save the environment from further anthropogenic interruptions and damage. With this in focus, this book provides an up-todate, coherently…
Inorganic chemistry is concerned with the chemical elements (of which there are about 100) and the extremely varied compounds they form. The essentially descriptive subject matter is unified by some general concepts of structure, bonding and reactivity, and most especially by the periodic table and its underlying basis in atomic structure. As with other books in the Instant Notes series, the pr…
The rapid development of inorganic chemistry makes ever more challenging the task of providing a textbook that is contemporary and meets the needs of those who use it. We appreciate the constructive suggestions provided by students, faculty, and reviewers, and have adopted much of this advice, keeping in mind the constraints imposed by space and the scope of the book. The main emphasis in p…
Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry in which covalent carbon compounds and their reactions are studied. A wide variety of classes of compounds such as vitamins, drugs, natural and synthetic fibres, as well as carbohydrates, peptides, and fats consist of organic molecules. Organic chemists determine the structures of organic molecules, study their various reactions, and develop procedur…
It is now well over thirty years since my Guidebook to Mechanism in Organic Chemistry first saw the light of day, and during that time a great deal has happened in the teaching of chemistry, and not least in the teaching of organic chemistry. There have been six significant revisions of the Guidebook over this period of time and now, despite considerable pressure to undertake a seventh, I …
With our Þrst textbook, Principles of Inorganic Materials Design, we set out to fulÞll our stated goal of preparing a single-source presentation of inorganic materials design. Accordingly, the primary emphasis was on structureproperty correlation. A comprehensive treatment of the broader general topic of inorganic materials science necessitates that we discuss chemical, synthetic, and f…
Our aim in the fifth edition of Shriver and Atkins’ Inorganic Chemistry is to provide a comprehensive and contemporary introduction to the diverse and fascinating discipline of inorganic chemistry. Inorganic chemistry deals with the properties of all of the elements in the periodic table. These elements range from highly reactive metals, such as sodium, to noble metals, such as gold. The …
