Publisher's Synopsis
Encyclopaedia of Chemistry Principles and Reactions represents the next step in general chemistry texts, with an emphasis on contemporary applications and an intuitive problem-solving approach. Chemistry is a branch of physical science that studies the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. The text Chemistry: Principles, Patterns, and Applications features modern applications, early integration of examples from chemistry, and a strong approach to problem solving that moves away from rote memorization to a thorough understanding of key concepts and recognition of important patterns. First chapter focuses on fundamentals of analytical chemistry. Quantum chemistry and chemometrics applied to conformational analysis have been discussed in second chapter. In third chapter, we present a novel computer algorithm, called AutoClickChem, capable of performing many click-chemistry reactions in silico. The aim of fourth chapter is to abstract the functionality of chemistry text mining tools from the underlying implementation via reconfigurable workflows for automatically identifying chemical names. Fifth chapter discusses how nanoscale chemistry influences delivery of peptido-toxins for cancer therapy. Sixth chapter focuses on coal chemistry and morphology of Thar reserves in Pakistan. In seventh chapter, the surface chemistry and properties of aqueous atmospheric aerosols have been explored. Biomimetic modeling of copper complexes has been discussed in eighth chapter. In ninth chapter, we examine the quantity and quality of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in urban ponds as it compares to DOM sampled from more natural aquatic ecosystems. Tenth chapter focuses on mesofluidic devices for DNA-programmed combinatorial chemistry. Eleventh chapter deals with guest-host chemistry with dendrimer. A first-principles investigation on unique reactivity of transition metal atoms embedded in graphene to CO, NO, O2 and O adsorption has been presented in twelfth chapter. Thirteenth chapter deals with first-principles elucidation of the surface chemistry of the C2Hx (x=0-6) adsorbate series on Fe(100). The structures and properties of y-substituted Mg2Ni alloys and their hydrides have been discussed in last chapter.
