  • Advances in Magnetic and Optical Resonance

    Volume 16
    • 1st Edition
    • Warren S. Warren
    • English
    Advances in Magnetic and Optical Resonance contains three articles which review quite fundamentally different aspects of coherent spectroscopy. An enormous variety of effects can be observed when optical and spin resonances are coupled, usually by a combination of radio frequency and laser irradiation. The first article reviews these effects and pays particular attention to developing a theoretical framework which is as similar as possible for the optical and spin cases. Subsequent articles examine deuterium relaxation in molecular solids, and the spatiotemporal growth of multiple spin coherences in networks of strongly dipolar coupled spins driven by radiofrequency fields.

  • Advances in Magnetic Resonance

    Volume 4
    • 1st Edition
    • John S. Waugh
    • English
    Advances in Magnetic Resonance, Volume 4 deals with the relaxation, irradiation, and other dynamical effects that is specific to systems having resolved structure in their magnetic resonance spectra. This book discusses the anisotropic rotation of molecules in liquids by NMR quadrupolar relaxation; rotational diffusion constants; alternating linewidth effect; and theoretical formulations of the problem. The line shapes in high-resolution NMR; matrix representations of the equations of motion; matrix representations of the equations of motion; and intramolecular hydrogen bonds are also deliberated. This text likewise covers the nuclear spin relaxation by double resonance and methods of solution of the density matrix equations. This publication is valuable to physics and chemistry students, including those interested in magnetic resonance.

  • Comptes Rendus 28th Conference

    • M. Williams
    • English
    Comptes Rendus 28th Conference, Part A contains names of IUPAC members, their category of Membership, and their division during the 1975 Madrid Conference. This book is divided into six chapters. Each chapter contains names of the members of the specific division. These divisions include the Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Macromolecular, Analytical Chemistry, and Applied Chemistry.

  • Survey of Progress in Chemistry

    Volume 3
    • 1st Edition
    • Arthur F. Scott
    • English
    Survey of Progress in Chemistry, Volume 3 considers the principles common to all chemistry that undergo major developments and modifications, including photosynthesis, flame, asymmetric reduction, and stereoregular polymers. This volume is composed of five chapters, and starts with a discussion on component reactions, apparatus, and photoelectron transport of photosynthesis. The next chapter deals with the general chemistry and kinetics of some of the common flame system, along with their practical applications. A chapter focuses on the many mechanistic applications of isotope effects. This topic is followed by a description of the ordinary steric and electronic interactions in asymmetric reductions. The last chapter explores the synthesis, nomenclature, and polymerization of stereoregular polymers. This book is of great value to chemistry teachers and undergraduate chemistry students.

  • Chemical Oceanography

    Volume 8
    • 1st Edition
    • J. P. Riley + 1 more
    • English
    Chemical Oceanography, Volume 8 covers the progress in marine chemistry. The book discusses the influence of pressure on chemical processes in the sea; the geochemical ocean sections study; and the trace elements in sea water. The text also describes the chemistry of interstitial waters of deep sea sediments and the interpretation of deep sea drilling data; the hydrothermal fluxes in the ocean; and the natural water photochemistry. Oceanographers, chemists, and people involved in marine and atmospheric sciences will find the book invaluable.

  • Selenium Reagents & Intermediates in Organic Synthesis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 4
    • C. Paulmier
    • Patrick Perlmutter
    • English
    The explosive growth of organoselenium chemistry over the past 12 years can be attributed to the specific properties of organic selenium molecules, which fit the requirements of modern organic synthesis. Most of them are well adapted to chemo-, regio- and stereo-selectivities... In addition, they can be used in mild experimental conditions which are compatible with the stability of both substrates and products in the preparation of unsaturated and functional complex molecules, especially in the field of natural products. This book describes and illustrates different synthetic routes to organic structures using selenium reagents or intermediates. The approach emphasizes that such transformations are simple, efficient and often carried out at room temperature. The scope ranges from the preparation of both inorganic and organic selenium reagents, through descriptions of structure, toxicity, biological aspects and nuclear magnetic resonance, to applications of specific selenium compounds in various syntheses including natural products and biologically active compounds.

  • Advances in Magnetic and Optical Resonance

    Volume 17
    • 1st Edition
    • Warren S. Warren
    • English
    Advances in Magnetic and Optical Resonance, Volume 17 reviews different developing branches of coherent spectroscopy, focusing on the incoherent radiation pulses in optics and magnetic resonance. This book is divided into two chapters. Chapter 1 summarizes the uses and occasional advantages of incoherent radiation pulses in optics and magnetic resonance. The second chapter reviews theoretical developments in zero-field NMR and ESR spectroscopies. Other topics include the nonlinear incoherent spectroscopy; stochastic nonlinear susceptibilities; nonlinear interferometer for magnetic resonance; and nonlinear interference and optics. The zero-field spin dynamics and relaxation and ZF line shapes in the presence of molecular reorientations are also covered. This publication is a good reference for students and researchers interested in coherent spectroscopy.

  • The Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth

    Pergamon Texts in Inorganic Chemistry

    • J. C. Bailar + 2 more
    • English
    The Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth is a 16-part book that discusses the composition, structure, and properties of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth. The book is the 21st chapter of the second volume of a series. The first part in this book describes the elements featured, and then discusses the importance of their alloys and compounds. The general aspects of the chemistry of these elements are then presented; this discussion is followed by topics on oxides, halides, hydrides, sulfides, selenides, and tellurides. This text also explains the salts of antimony and bismuth and the complexes of the featured elements, as well as the organometallic compounds. This book will be invaluable to chemistry students and practitioners, especially those interested in the elements featured in this release.

  • Modern NMR Techniques for Chemistry Research

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 6
    • A.E. Derome
    • Patrick Perlmutter
    • English
    Presents an introduction to modern NMR methods at a level suited to organic and inorganic chemists engaged in the solution of structural and mechanistic problems. The book assumes familiarity only with the simple use of proton and carbon spectra as sources of structural information and describes the advantages of pulse and Fourier transform spectroscopy which form the basis of all modern NMR experiments. Discussion of key experiments is illustrated by numerous examples of the solutions to real problems. The emphasis throughout is on the practical side of NMR and the book will be of great use to chemists engaged in both academic and industrial research who wish to realise the full possibilities of the new wave NMR.
