Books in the Topics in Stereochemistry (Discontinued) series

Topics in Stereochemistry, Materials-Chirality provides comprehensive information on the stereochemistry of materials. Coverage includes the chirality of materials and the important role stereochemistry plays in the physical properties of polymers, liquid crystals, and other materials.

Since it was first published in 1967, the 'Topics in Stereochemistry' series has consistently reflected the state of the art in the field and provided readers with a coherent framework for the conceptual, theoretical, and practical aspects of modern stereochemistry.

The series is intended for the advanced student, the teacher, the active researcher and the organic chemist, and a basic background knowledge in the field of stereochemistry is assumed. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field and covers its subject in depth.

Topics in Stereochemistry, previously edited by "the father of stereochemistry" Ernest L. Eliel, is a longstanding, successful series covering the most important advances in the field.

Aimed primarily at an audience of organic chemists, whether advanced student, teacher or researcher, the text also deals with fundamental principles of physical chemistry and molecular physics, as well as certain stereochemical aspects of inorganic chemistry and biochemistry.
