Describes the methodologies for carrying out conjugate addition reactions in a stereoselective way, using small chiral organic molecules as catalysts.

A unique publication from the ECTN, giving a comprehensive overview of innovations in university chemistry teaching from a broad European perspective.

Health, Safety and Risk has been produced in order to help teachers bring about a better understanding of these concepts in their students so that they can be properly aware of the risks associated with the world in which they live and how to minimise them.

The current state of practical ICP-MS and the latest developments in the field.

This is a tutorial guide to the use and application of the more commonly encountered techniques used in processing and interpreting analytical spectroscopic data.

This book effectively forms a self-study course, which is split into separate modules and units covering all concepts required for those needing a basic knowledge of chemistry.

This Practical Guide takes the reader on a journey through instrument operation, sample preparation, analysis, and reporting results.

This text will be welcomed by many organisations throughout the world who need to prove that the validity of their analytical results can be established beyond reasonable doubt.

Reflecting the growing volume of published work in this field, researchers will find this book an invaluable source of information on current methods and applications.

Catalysis will be of interest to anyone working in academia and industry that needs an up-to-date critical analysis and summary of catalysis research and applications.

In this book the editors have provided a broad view of the many pressures imposed by human-induced changes and the many threats to global biodiversity and of the policy responses required to combat them.

This excellent introduction to a growing area of computing in chemistry will interest students, scientists and academics.

Publication of the Cost Action Group TD0906. A volume based on the proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Biological and Biomimetic Adhesives that was held at the University of Lisbon, Portugal 9-11 May 2012.

A simple and general overview of the different self-assembly processes in nanotechnology suitable for non-specialists.

The Handbook of Chalcogen Chemistry provides an overview of recent developments on the chemistry of the chalcogen group elements (S, Se and Te).

Computational Quantum Chemistry presents computational electronic structure theory as practised in terms of ab initio waveform methods and density functional approaches. Getting a full grasp of the field can often prove difficult, since essential topics fall outside of the scope of conventional chemistry education. This professional reference book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field.Postgraduate students and experienced researchers alike will appreciate Joseph McDouall's engaging writing style. The book is divided into five chapters, each providing a major aspect of the field. Electronic structure methods, the computation of molecular properties, methods for analysing the output from computations and the importance of relativistic effects on molecular properties are also discussed. Links to the websites of widely used software packages are provided so that the reader can gain first hand experience of using the techniques described in the book.Dr McDouall has more than 25 years experience in theoretical chemistry; as a reader at the University of Manchester his research interests include the application of quantum chemical methods to the elucidation of chemical problems and the development and implementation of electronic structure methods that permit the accurate prediction of chemical structures and molecular properties.

A comprehensive reference of the latest methodologies and techniques in the extraction and application of natural products. Presented within the philosophy of green chemistry.

With critical and comprehensive reviews of the recent literature, this SPR presents an informed and invaluable guide to the latest developments in this growing field.

Research into polymer nanofibers has increased significantly over the last decade, prompting the need for a comprehensive monograph examining the subject as knowledge of their properties and potential applications has increased.

Professional conservators and scientists alike will find this essential reading, as will postgraduate students in the fields of materials and colloid science, art restoration and nanoscience.
