Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A complete, up-to-date treatment of ligand field theory and its applications Ligand Field Theory and Its Applications presents an up-to-date account of ligand field theory, the model currently used to describe the metal-ligand interactions in transition metal compounds, and the way it is used to interpret the physical properties of the complexes. It examines the traditional electrostatic crystal field model, still widely used by physicists, as well as covalent approaches such as the angular overlap model, which interprets the metal ligand interactions using parameters relating directly to chemical behavior. Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, this book provides a comparison between ligand field theory and more sophisticated treatments as well as an account of the methods used to calculate the energy levels in compounds of the transition metals. It also covers physical properties such as stereochemistry, light absorption, and magnetic behavior. An emphasis on the interpretation of experimental results broadens the book's field of interest beyond transition metal chemistry into the many other areas where these metal ions play an important role. As clear and accessible as Brian Figgis's 1966 classic Introduction to Ligand Fields, this new book provides inorganic and bioinorganic chemists as well as physical chemists, chemical physicists, and spectroscopists with a much-needed overview of the many significant changes that have taken place in ligand field theory over the past 30 years.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This unique book shows how chemistry and physics come together in the solid state and on surfaces. Using a lively, graphic, descriptive approach, it teaches chemists the language that is necessary to understand the electronic structure of extended systems. And, at the same time, it demonstrates how a chemical, frontier-orbital, approach to solid state and surface bonding and reactivity may be constructed. The book begins with the language of crystal orbitals, band structures and densities of states. The tools for moving back from the highly delocalized orbitals of the solid are then built up in a transparent manner; they include decompositions of the densities of states and crystal orbital overlap populations. Using these tools, the book shapes a meeting ground between detailed quantum mechanical calculations and a chemical frontier orbital perspec- tive. Applications include a general picture of chemisorption, bond-breaking and making in the solid state, bonding in metals, the electronic structure of selected conducting and supercon- ducting structures, dissociation, migration and coupling on surfaces and the forces controlling deformation of extended systems.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. "Introduction to Theoretical Organic Chemistry" provides an introduction for chemists with a limited mathematical background, yet need a working understanding of quantum chemistry as applied to problems in organic chemistry. This book is unique in that it is written at the level of the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student in organic chemistry, whose exposure to theoretical chemistry is relatively recent. It fills a niche in that most books on theoretical organic chemistry are written by theoretical or computational chemists, whereas this book is written by an organic chemist. The book covers molecular modeling computer software, and offers a useful guide to the scope and limitations of each program, along with specific examples of input and output for several of the most popular software. Numerous examples and exercises are provided. Introduction to Theoretical Organic Chemistry and Molecular Modeling William B. Smith Introduction to Theoretical Organic Chemistry and Molecular Modeling was written by an organic chemist with the needs of practicing organic chemists and students of organic chemistry in mind. Many organic chemists possess a minimal mathematical background or knowledge of theoretical chemistry. At the same time, if they are to stay current, they need to acquire a solid understanding of quantum chemistry as it applies to problems in organic chemistry. The author uses HA1/4ckel molecular orbital theory as a pedagogical means to explain modern theoretical methods and introduce more advanced techniques. The mathematics needed is developed with only a minimal background from earlier course work, and the book includes numerous worked examples and exercises. Both students and practicing organic chemists will profit from the discussion of currently available computational software. The scope and limitations of each program are outlined, and specific examples of input and output for several of the most popular software packages are provided.

Featured topics include: * Evidence and methods of detection * Quantum chemical treatment of CH/p interaction * Comparison with other types of weak molecular interactions * Conformational consequences * Chiroptical properties * Selectivity in organic reactions * Crystal structures of clathrates * Inclusion compounds * Interligand interactions in coordination chemistry * Specific interactions in protein structures * Prospects and possibilities for use in biochemistry and materials science The CH/p Interaction makes an important contribution to the understanding of weak intermolecular forces and their potential value to the biochemical and pharmaceutical sciences. It will be welcomed by physical and synthetic organic chemists; structural chemists; and pharmaceutical and biochemists. This book presents an overview of the experimental basis, theoretical background, and nature of the CH- Interaction. The "CH- Interaction" refers to a weak attractive force that originally was inferred from structural data obtained by spectroscopy. The characteristics of this weak force are compared to those of other hydrogen bonds. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This is the first unified treatment of the properties of thermodynamically open and closed systems. It provides the theory and methodology that are necessary to understand nonlinear processes. The section on Classical Systems covers topics ranging from the evolution of probability to open and closed systems and non-Hamiltonian systems. The concluding section on Quantum Systems is equally detailed, treating the evolution of quantum systems, c-number fluctuations and operator fluctuations. The material covered is applicable to weather systems, ocean currents, dye lasers and many other nonequilibrium systems. The text is also suitable for students in graduate course. Numerous physical chemical examples facilitate self-study. This is the first unified treatment of the properties of thermodynamically open and closed systems.
