Review The Chemistry of Free Radicals: Peroxyl Radicals / Wiley:Peroxy radicals are formed in biological systems, the atmosphere and agueous waste and are important intermediates in the breakdown both of organic molecules and several inorganic species. The implications of their chemistry are far reaching and of great importance. Until now their has been no one volume which bring together all aspects of peroxy radical chemistry - from their formation, to their wide and varied chemistry in the aqueous environment, biological systems, solid matrices, polymeric systems and the atmosphere. Peroxy radicals react with CFCs and HFCs in the atmosphere, resulting in the further destruction of the ozone layer - a point which is of topical interest.

Review Reactive Halogen Compounds in the Atmosphere (Part 4E) / Springer:Scientific evidence clearly shows that chlorine and bromine compounds, such as CFCs, released into the atmosphere are responsible for continuous and progressive global ozone losses superimposed by dramatic seasonal ozone depletions first observed over Antarctica, now occurring over Arctic regions as well. Today substitutes are produced and emitted, some of which are highly reactive substances. This handbook volume deals with these reactive halogen compounds and their interactions. It provides a review on the present knowledge of their properties, applications, sources, sinks as well as international regulations.

Review Advances in Carbene Chemistry, Volume 3 / JAI Press:Hardbound. Our understanding of carbene chemistry has advanced dramatically, especially in the last decade, and new developments continue to emerge. Some of the recent exciting findings have been collected in the first and second volumes of "Advances in Carbene Chemistry". With the third volume, the series continues to provide a periodic coverage of carbene chemistry in its broadest sense. Beginning as chemical curiosities, carbenes are now solidly established as reactive intermediates with fascinating and productive research areas of their own. Five decades of divalent carbon chemistry have provided us with a vast repertoire of new, unusual, and surprising reactions. Some of those reactions, once classified as exotic, have become standard methods in organic synthesis. These highly reactive carbene species have been harnessed and put to work to achieve difficult synthetic tasks other reactive intermediates cannot easily perform. The fru.

Review Activation and Catalytic Reactions of Saturated Hydrocarbons in the Presence of Metal Complexes Category should be: CHEMISTRY (and not medicine) / Springer:This monograph is devoted to the activation and various transformations of saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes), i. e. reactions accompanied by the C-H and C-C bond cleavage. Alkanes are the main constituents of oil and natural gas, and consequently are the principal feedstocks for the chemical industry. On the other hand, these substances are known to be the least reactive organic compounds. Special attention is paid to the recently found alkane activations in the presence of metal complexes, which are described in more detail. In addition to the reactions of saturated hydrocarbons which are the main topic of this book, the activation of C-H bonds in arenes and even olefins and acetylenes are considered. The monograph will be useful not only for those who are interested in the activation of alkanes and other hydrocarbons by metal complexes, but also for specialists in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, petrochemistry, and organometallic chemistry. Some parts of the monograph will be of interest for specialists in inorganic and organic chemistry, theoretical chemistry, biochemistry and even biology, and also for those who work in the petrochemical industry, industrial organic synthesis and biotechnology.

Review Design of Organic Solids (Topics in Current Chemistry) / Springer:The lively interest in organic solids stems from our increasing ability to manipulate and tune the properties of organic and organometallic materials (e. g. nonlinear behavior or electrical conductivity) by systematic variations of the molecular components. New insight derived from modern supramolecular chemistry are also allowing molecular level control of solid-state structure with the arrangement of functional molecular components into a defined solid architecture. Examples include the creation of nanoporous host lattices containing functional guest molecules and of defined nanomaterials. In this book, leading experts in the field give a state-of the art overview of our current knowledge and of future prospects, with chapters on directional aspects of intermolecular interactions, supramolecular synthon approaches, hydrogen-bonded tape, ribbon and sheet motifs, designed organic zeolite analogues, and crystalline polymorphism.
