  • Syntheses and Physical Studies of Inorganic Compounds

    • 1st Edition
    • C. F. Bell
    • English
    Syntheses and Physical Studies of Inorganic Compounds focuses on inorganic chemistry, covering the detailed physical and chemical properties of specific compounds with the emphasis on the application of physical principles, investigational techniques, and theoretical interpretation of experimental data. This book considers, in some depth, the synthesis, properties, reactions, and structures of a number of compounds that are selected on the criterion that the study of each has resulted in important contributions to the practice and understanding of inorganic chemistry. The details of experimental procedures are generally not included. This publication is a good source for undergraduate or postgraduate students studying on the different physicochemical investigations of compounds and advances in inorganic chemistry.

    • English
    Pesticide Chemistry: Human Welfare and the Environment, Volume I: Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationships covers the proceedings of the Fifth International Congress of Pesticide Chemistry. The book covers research topics that tackle both improved agricultural production and public health concerns. The papers presented in this volume are organized into three parts. The first part covers the plenary lectures that discuss the political, economic, and philosophical aspects of pesticides for human welfare and pesticide research for the improvement of human welfare. The second part discusses synthesis of pesticides and growth regulators, which include synthons, avermegtins, and pyrethroid. The third part tackles chemical structure and biological activities, such as structure-activity relationships in derivatives of anticholinesterase insecticides and the fungicidal activity of acyl anilines. The book will be of great interest to professionals and researchers whose work involves pesticides.

  • The Immune System

    Genes, Receptors, Signals
    • 1st Edition
    • Eli E. Sercarz + 2 more
    • English
    The Immune System: Genes Receptors, Signals provides information pertinent to the complexity of immune mechanisms. This book describes the immune response genes and products, which point to another multigene system controlling immune responsiveness. Organized into 37 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the details of antibody structure that continue to be of importance to an understanding of the regulation of the immune reactions. This text then examines the evidence that individual antibody species are capable of binding many structurally dissimilar haptens. Other chapters consider the conceptual framework generally accepted by immunologists, which states that antibodies are specific for the antigen used to elicit the immune response. This book discusses as well the mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of antibody binding sites, which is unprecedented in its adaptability. The final chapter deals with the genetic controls of specific immune responses. This book is a valuable resource for immunologists and research workers.

  • Fundamentals of Chemistry

    • 4th Edition
    • Frank Brescia + 2 more
    • English
    Fundamentals of Chemistry, Fourth Edition covers the fundamentals of chemistry. The book describes the formation of ionic and covalent bonds; the Lewis theory of bonding; resonance; and the shape of molecules. The book then discusses the theory and some applications of the four kinds of spectroscopy: ultraviolet, infrared, nuclear (proton) magnetic resonance, and mass. Topics that combine environmental significance with descriptive chemistry, including atmospheric pollution from automobile exhaust; the metallurgy of iron and aluminum; corrosion; reactions involving ozone in the upper atmosphere; and the methods of controlling the pollution of air and water, are also considered. Chemists and students taking courses related to chemistry and environmental chemistry will find the book invaluable.

  • Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry

    Inorganic Chemistry Division Commission on Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry
    • 2nd Edition
    • Sam Stuart
    • English
    Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, Second Edition deals with the nomenclature of boron hydrides and higher hydrides of the Group IV–VI elements, organometallic compounds, and polyacids. This book deals with organoboron, organosilicon, and organophosphorus compounds. Organized into 11 chapters, this edition begins with an overview of the concept of oxidation number and coordination number, as well as the conventions governing the use of multiplying affixes, enclosing marks, letters, and numbers. This text then discusses the standardization of the formula of inorganic compounds to demonstrate the structural connections between atoms and to provide other comparative chemical information. Other chapters consider nomenclature for radicals and ions. This book discusses as well the nomenclature for binary and pseudobinary acids, oxaacids, peroxoacids, and chloroacids. The final chapter deals with the nomenclature for boron hydrides, boron radicals, and anions and cations derived from the boranes. This book is a valuable resource for organic and inorganic chemists.

  • Mass Spectrometry of Natural Products

    Mass Spectrometry of Natural Products covers the plenary lectures presented at the International Mass Spectrometry Symposium on Natural Products, held in Rehovot, Israel from August 28 to September 2, 1977. The book focuses on the sequencing, spectroscopy, chromatography, and spectrometry of natural products. The selection first discusses mass spectrometric sequencing of peptides and proteins and mass spectroscopic investigation of nucleic acid degradation products. The book then examines advances in the mass spectrometry of steroids, including sterols with unsaturated side chains and ring D fragmentation of saturated sterols and steranes. The text evaluates the mass spectrometry and language of biological fluids. Topics include separation by glass capillary chromatography and structure of determination of unknown compounds. The book also focuses on structural and sequencing studies on peptides, proteins, and glycopeptide by mass spectrometry and directed fragmentation in mass spectrometry by the introduction of functional groups. The selection is a dependable reference for readers interested in mass spectrometry of natural products.

  • Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 25
    • English
    Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry is an annual review series commissioned by the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry (ISHC). Volumes in the series contain both highlights of the previous year’s literature on heterocyclic chemistry and articles on new, developing topics of particular interest to heterocyclic chemists. The highlight chapters in Volume 25 are all written by leading researchers in their field, and these chapters constitute a systematic survey of the important original material reported in the literature of heterocyclic chemistry in 2012. As with previous volumes in the series, Volume 25 will enable academic and industrial chemists and advanced students to keep abreast of developments in heterocyclic chemistry in a convenient way.
