Excellent test-style book on asymmetric methods
This is probably one of the best text-style books I have seen covering asymmetric synthesis. It covers all transformations, and analyzes them with terrific transition states. I highly recommend this for advanced graduate organic classes, although the high cost. ... Read more

Book Description

Laser application in chemistry and related fields is an area growing at rapid pace in line with new developments in laser technology. The fields of application range from fundamental chemical research to sophisticated analytical methods in chemical and biotechnological industry and in environmental chemistry. This book demonstrates the breadth of applications of lasers in chemistry, with particular reference to analytical and research applications. David L. Andrews presents the subject matter at a level amenable to the general chemist, the novice and the practising specialists as well. The 3rd edition of this successful book has been completely revised and updated. ... Read more

A Great Introductory Book to the Field
Andrews' Lasers in Chemistry is the best book that I have seen of its type. With its clearly written text and organized structure it serves as an excellent reference and text for chemists who use lasers in their research. Whether you have questions about a laser system or a spectroscopy method, it is a great stepping stone and will help greatly in finding and understanding more specialized texts. ... Read more

Book Description

In its short (30 year) history, computational chemistry has become one of the mainstays of modern industrial and academic chemistry. Computer methods are used to solve chemical problems that would be intractable or even impossible via experimental methods. Today, computer chemistry is acknowledged to be a major subdivision of chemistry, e.g. in drug design, molecular models can be simulated to predict which are the active compounds and how they will "fit" the receptors in the brain in order to make them effective. The Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry (ECC) provides the most modern, complete and authoritative reference work on the subject.

"The Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry represents the most comprehensive effort yet to cover the field of computational chemistry in its full breadth. This effort has been successful in most points and the ECC is thus a must-have for all chemistry libraries".

Book Description

The study of energetic materials is emerging from one primarily directed toward practical interests to an advanced area of fundamental research, where state-of-the-art methods and theory are used side by side with modern synthetic methods.
This timely book integrates the recent experimental, synthetic, and theoretical research of energetic materials. Editors George Olah and David Squire emphasize the importance of structure and mechanism in determining properties and performances. They also explore new spectrometric methods and synthetic approaches in this useful reference.

Book Description

Instrumentation lies behind many of the most interesting aspects of contemporary chemistry. Some techniques - such as NMR - owe their existence to electronic instrumentation; others have been made simpler, more reliable, and more precise. Yet undergraduates reading chemistry often have only the most rudimentary understanding of the way in which electronics and allied disciplines have provided powerful tools that enable creative experimentation to be performed. This text introduces students to the devices used in R&D and provides a basic understanding of how the instrumentation works. ... Read more

Book Description

Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength, and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered throughout the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. Edited by the Associate Director of Analytical Research and Development for the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients brings this information together into one source. The scope of the series has recently been expanded to include profiles of excipient materials. ... Read more
