This book is aimed at informing organic chemists and natural products chemists on the use of NMR for structure elucidation to enable them to ensure they yield the most reliable possible data in the minimum possible time. It covers the latest pulse sequences, acquisition and processing methods, practical areas not covered in most texts e.g. detailed consideration of the relative advantages and disadvantages of different pulse sequences, choosing acquisition and processing parameters to get the best possible data in the least possible time, pitfalls to avoid and how to minimize the risks of getting wrong structures. Useful in industrial, pharma or research environments, this reference book is for anyone involved with organic chemistry research and, in particular, natural products research requiring advice for getting the best results from the NMR facilities.

This book provides the reader with a comprehensive view of the state-of-the-art of cyclic peptides, from construction to utility in biology and drug discovery.

Reviewing current understanding of the physical origin and modelling of London dispersion forces, this book is ideal for theoretical, physical and synthetic chemists.

Providing a comprehensive overview, this book is ideal for researchers and industrial chemists working in environmental science, electrochemistry and chemical engineering.

With a foreword from leading organic chemist Professor Paul Wender, this book collects the major developments reported in the past thirty years in the field of enantioselective reactions promoted by chiral cobalt catalysts.

This book has a strong emphasis on the key challenges in the area for example the biophysics of protein water channels, biomimetics and what we may learn from natural proteins and synthesis and design of highly selective water channels.

This new book focuses on the new developments in the field of amphiphilic polymer co-networks covering the key areas of synthesis, properties, applications and modelling.

Carbohydrate Chemistry is an invaluable volume demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of modern carbohydrate research and containing analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest research in the area.

This book provides a practical approach for using light-emitting sensors and light-driven actuators.

A handy reference for practising chemists wishing to embed biocatalysis into their synthetic toolbox.

This book provides a thorough review of the latest research developments regarding the mechanisms by which oxidative stress and redox signalling mediate Parkinson's Disease.

In the past decade a new era in asymmetric catalysis has been realised by the discovery of L-proline induced chiral enamines from carbonyls. Inspired by this, researchers have developed many other primary catalytic species in situ, more recently secondary catalytic species such as aminals have been identified for use in asymmetric synthesis.High-yielding asymmetric synthesis of bioactive and natural products through mild catalysis is an efficient approach in reaction engineering. In the early days, synthetic chemists mainly focused on the synthesis of complex molecules, with less attention on the reaction efficiency and eco-friendly conditions. Recent investigations have been directed towards the development of atom economy, eco-friendly and enantioselective synthesis for more targeted and efficient synthesis.Building on the momentum of this rapidly expanding research area, Dienamine Catalysis for Organic Synthesis will provide a comprehensive introduction, from the preformed species, in situ generation and onto their applications in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and natural products.

A comprehensive overview of the unique porous silica structure of diatoms, their mechanism of formation, properties and applications.

The volume examines the impact that road vehicles have on the environment, and is vital for policy makers and academics in the field of pollution.

Guiding chromatographers working in regulated industries and helping them to validate their chromatography data systems to meet data integrity, business and regulatory needs. This book is a detailed look at the life cycle and documented evidence required to ensure a system is fit for purpose throughout the lifecycle. Initially providing the regulatory, data integrity and system life cycle requirements for computerised system validation, the book then develops into a guide on planning, specifying, managing risk, configuring and testing a chromatography data system before release. This is followed by operational aspects such as training, integration and IT support and finally retirement. All areas are discussed in detail with case studies and practical examples provided as appropriate. The book has been carefully written and is right up to date including recently released FDA data integrity guidance. It provides detailed guidance on good practice and expands on the first edition making it an invaluable addition to a chromatographer's book shelf.

Edited by pioneers in this exciting field, and featuring contributions from leading researchers, this book discusses the principles and applications of XFELs.
