Radicals, Ion Radicals, and Triplets - (Jossey-Bass Higher Education) by Nathan L Bauld (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Ein Überblick über die wichtigen Typen spintragender Radikale - geschrieben von einem international anerkannten Experten, der aus dem Erfahrungsschatz jahrzehntelanger Forschungstätigkeit auf diesem Gebiet schöpfen kann! Den besonderen Wert dieses Buches macht die in dieser Form in der Literatur einmalige Diskussion physikalisch-organischer Aspekte der Radikalchemie aus. (11/97)

From the Back Cover

An authoritative, up-to-date volume covering all of the major spin-bearing intermediates of radical chemistry ... This essential sourcebook provides unified coverage of the main types of spin-bearing intermediates-free radicals, anion radicals, cation radicals, ion radical pairs, diradicals, and triplets. Integrating simple molecular orbital theory and electron spin resonance concepts throughout, the book develops basic material with minimal emphasis on mathematics. This straightforward presentation of up-to-date information enables readers to apply radical chemistry and electron transfer chemistry effectively to their own research. In addition to helpful references, an extensive bibliography, and nearly 300 illustrations, this book:
* Emphasizes electron transfer reactions, radical and ion radical clocks, and biological processes that involve spin-bearing intermediates
* Provides a clear view of close interrelationships between spin-bearing intermediates
* Integrates MO theory and ESR spectroscopy into chapters on each class of reactive intermediate
* Offers examples of many common organic reactions that have been found to proceed through the intermediates
* Features challenging chapter-end problem sets
Suitable for students and professionals in chemistry, biology, polymer science, and environmental science, this book is an indispensable guide to the rapid growth area of radical chemistry.
