  • The Chemistry of Lignin

    Covering the Literature for the Years 1949–1958
    • 1st Edition
    • Friedrich Emil Brauns + 1 more
    • English
    The Chemistry of Lignin provides a critical review of the literature published from 1949 to 1958. This book provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of lignin chemistry. Organized into 27 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the derivatives that are prepared for the characterization of the mother substance. This text then examines the various kinds of lignin and biosynthetic lignin-like products, which have been characterized by their behavior toward oxidation with nitrobenzene and alkali. Other chapters consider the morphological distribution of lignin in the wood fiber and the place of origin of lignin precursors and of the lignification process. This book discusses as well the formation or biosynthesis of lignin in plants and reviews the structure, isolation, and biosynthesis of lignin. The final chapter deals with producing lignin by the action of enzymes. This book is a valuable resource for lignin chemists, scientists, research workers, and botanists.

    • H. Stephen + 1 more
    • English
    Solubilities of Inorganic and Organic Compounds, Volume 2: Ternary and Multicomponent Systems, Part 2 presents the solubility data of ternary and multicomponent systems. The text arranges the data in a way that the first Tables are systems in which an Element is a component, which are followed by data for systems containing inorganic compounds, metallo-organic compounds. Next, the selection presents the systems in which water is one component and the remaining components being organic. The book will be of great use to students of chemistry and chemical engineering.

  • Equilibrium Constants of Liquid-Liquid Distribution Reactions

    Organophosphorus Extractants
    • 1st Edition
    • Y. Marcus + 2 more
    • English
    Equilibrium Constants of Liquid-liquid Distribution Reactions Introduction, and Part 1: Organophosphorus Extractants focuses on the numerical representations, formulas, reactions, and characteristics of equilibrium constants of organophosphorus extractants. The text underscores that only a number of papers focusing on equilibrium constants for distribution reactions involving metal complexes are published before 1947. The book also states that no equilibrium constants have been reported on several organophosphorus extractants although they are used in practical extraction work. The publication provides a list of extractants, ligands, and metal ions. These include distribution and dissociation of extractants; dimerization and aggregation of extractants; homogeneous equilibria of extractants with metal ions; extraction of metal ions with extractants as ligands; and reactions of extractants with diluents and other solvents. The manuscript also highlights reactions, temperature, and equilibrium constants. The book is a valuable source of data for readers interested in the equilibrium constants of organophosphorus extractants.

  • Hydrogen Bonding

    Papers Presented at the Symposium on Hydrogen Bonding Held at Ljubljana, 29 July–3 August 1957
    • 1st Edition
    • D. Hadži
    • English
    Hydrogen Bonding covers the papers presented at the Symposium on Hydrogen Bonding, held at Ljubljana on July 29 to August 3, 1957. The book focuses on the developments, processes, approaches, methodologies, and reactions involved in hydrogen bonding. The selection first offers information on the structure of water; function of hydrogen bond in solids and liquids; and study of hydrogen bonds by neutron diffraction. The text then takes a look at x-ray and neutron studies of hydrogen bonding; x-ray studies of ammonium bifluoride, potassium hydrogen maleate, theophylline, and caffeine; and isotope effect in relation to bond length in hydrogen bonds in crystals. The publication ponders on proton magnetic resonance measurements of hydrogen bonding; interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance shifts in hydrogen bonding; nuclear resonance investigation of hydrogen bonding; and infrared spectroscopy and hydrogen bonding — band-widths and frequency shifts. The book then examines the tunneling of protons as a cause of the splitting of hydroxyl stretching bands; infrared spectroscopic study of H-bonding and of metal-element bonding; and effect of hydrogen bond formation on the electronic spectra of phenolic substances. The selection is a vital source of information for readers interested in hydrogen bonding.

  • Spectroscopic Data Relative to Diatomic Molecules

    • B. Rosen
    • English
    Spectroscopic Data Relative to Diatomic Molecules provides information pertinent to the electronic spectrum and spectroscopic properties of diatomic molecules. This book consists of a collection of tables that mainly deal with electronic spectra located in the infrared, the visible and the ultraviolet. Thermochemical data have been used in this book to make estimates of dissociation energies while results from electron diffraction experiments have been used to determine internuclear distances. This text provides information regarding potential energy curves, ionization potential, correlations with atomic states, electronic configuration, lifetimes, transition probabilities, astrophysical applications, and chemical physics. This book is a valuable resource for spectroscopists.

  • Regulation of Gluconeogenesis

    9th Conference of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Chemie
    • 1st Edition
    • Hans-Dieter Söling + 1 more
    • English
    Regulation of Gluconeogenesis documents the proceedings of 9th Conference of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Chemie. This meeting was first planned as a continuation of a former Conference of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Chemie on ""Stoffwechsel der isoliert perfundierten Leber"". However, the organizers of the present meeting decided that it seemed far more reasonable to restrict the subject to a special biochemical problem than to a technical procedure which had not changed very much during the last years. This volume contains 24 chapters and begins with a paper that identifies the substrates, activators, and inhibitors which may influence the rate of reaction of pyruvate carboxylase from liver. Other papers deal with topics such as purification and properties of pyruvate carboxylase from rat liver; the location of pyruvate carboxylase in mitochondria; effects of quinolinic acid on the free and total nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotides of rat liver; and effects of biguanides on gluconeogenesis in rats and guinea pigs.
