For students and vibrational spectroscopists working in molecular spectroscopy labs and dealing daily with spectral interpretation and data processing of organic spectra, polymers, and surfactants. This three-volume compendium contains detailed descriptions and reviews of ultraviolet, visible, near-infrared, Raman, and dielectric measurement techniques, as well as interpretive techniques, and information on all spectra, which are presented in terms of wavenumber and transmittance. Ultraviolet, visible, 4th-overtone NIR, 3rd-overtone NIR, and NIR spectra are also presented in terms of nanometers and absorbance space; and horizontal ATR spectra are presented in terms of wavenumber and absorbance space. The spectra found here are useful for identification purposes as well as for instruction in the various interpretive and data-processing techniques discussed. Editor Workman is employed at Kimberly-Clark Corporation. c. Book News Inc.

Organicum: Practical Handbook of Organic Chemistry focuses on the theory, laboratory practice, and aspects of technical use related to organic chemistry. This book discusses the standard apparatus for organic reactions, heating of inflammable liquids, performance of a simple distillation, and partition chromatography in separating columns. The time factor in organic chemical reactions, distribution of the electron density in organic molecules, and synthesis of ethers from alkoxides or phenoxides are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the mechanism of electrophilic aromatic substitution, quinones from aromatic hydrocarbons, and reduction of carbonyl compounds by means of complex hydrides. Other topics include the reaction with ammoniacal solution of a silver salt, preparation of the dimedone derivatives, and saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons. This publication is suitable for chemists and researchers conducting work in organic chemistry.

Designed to supplement standard organic chemistry textbooks used in two-semester courses, Problems Book for Organic Chemistry is a practical and highly applicable study aid that increases students' problem-solving abilities and effectively prepares them for exams. The book challenges students to participate in a series of timed examinations, replicating the real conditions under which exams are generally given to effectively prepare students to problem-solve under pressure. After completing each exam, students are provided with detailed answers and encouraged to self-grade their work to better understand their individual mastery of the material. The concepts in each exam, as well as their order, mirror the progression of a standard two-semester organic chemistry course. Innovative in approach, Problems Book for Organic Chemistry is an ideal resource for students enrolled in organic chemistry courses.

Class-tested and thoughtfully designed for student engagement, Principles of Organic Chemistry provides the tools and foundations needed by students in a short course or one-semester class on the subject. This book does not dilute the material or rely on rote memorization. Rather, it focuses on the underlying principles in order to make accessible the science that underpins so much of our day-to-day lives, as well as present further study and practice in medical and scientific fields. This book provides context and structure for learning the fundamental principles of organic chemistry, enabling the reader to proceed from simple to complex examples in a systematic and logical way. Utilizing clear and consistently colored figures, Principles of Organic Chemistry begins by exploring the step-by-step processes (or mechanisms) by which reactions occur to create molecular structures. It then describes some of the many ways these reactions make new compounds, examined by functional groups and corresponding common reaction mechanisms. Throughout, this book includes biochemical and pharmaceutical examples with varying degrees of difficulty, with worked answers and without, as well as advanced topics in later chapters for optional coverage. Incorporates valuable and engaging applications of the content to biological and industrial uses Includes a wealth of useful figures and problems to support reader comprehension and study Provides a high quality chapter on stereochemistry as well as advanced topics such as synthetic polymers and spectroscopy for class customization

If your work requires that you understand environmentally important properties of chemicals, then this databook will make your job easier. By providing you with easily accessed information on the structure and physical/chemical properties of more than 13,000 environmentally important chemicals, Handbook of Physical Properties of Organic Chemicals simplifies the task of locating and analyzing common and obscure compounds alike. One best experimental value is selected or an estimated value provided for: Melting point Boiling point Water solubility Octanol/water partition coefficient (log) Vapor pressure Disassociation constant Henry's law constant. These physical properties were identified from Syracuse Research Corporation's Environmental Fate Database, particularly from the DATALOG and CHEMFATE files.
