For the last fifty years, X-ray crystallography and allied methods have been one of the most important analytical techniques for chemical analysis. With improved equipment, computers, and programs, the time required for such determinations has been reduced from months to hours. However, crystallography has never found its way into chemical education. There are many reasons for this failure, but the result has been most chemists having little understanding of the method beyond operating equipment and running black box programs. This book provides a basic education on crystallographic methods. As much…
Most chemists have little understanding of crystallography. This book provides a basic, non-mathematical education on crystallographic methods, written in language chemists use. It is designed for students and any chemist who has had no instruction in the subject.

Scientists often argue among themselves about the best description of nature. Science journalists, primarily reporters of scientists’ work, and facilitators of their arguments, sometimes go beyond reportage and actually join such arguments, or even initiate them. This book presents the story of such a case. In 1985, the first reports of the discovery of the spherical molecule C60 Buckminsterfullerene, a new third form of carbon beyond diamond and graphite appeared and excited the world, especially the science media. At about the same time, but with much less fanfare, a new…
When the spherical molecule C60 was discovered in 1985, a science journalist did more than just report the news. He linked the glamorous discovery to the world of soot science, contriving a spectacular argument between scientists to promote the discoverers’ claim to fame.

This publication is an entry-level textbook designed to meet the needs of college students who learned some chemistry in their high school years, but not enough to prepare them for advanced courses in chemistry, or to satisfy the chemistry prerequisite for courses they might want to take in other scientific disciplines. The history of chemistry is emphasized to an unusual degree here primarily to give the narrative a storyline, but its historical emphasis has an important secondary benefit. Much of the vocabulary chemists use to describe chemical phenomena today emerged…
This entry-level textbook prepares college students for advanced science courses by bridging the gap from high school chemistry. It emphasizes the history of the discipline to create a storyline, showing how modern chemical vocabulary makes sense only in the light of history.

This novel, precise and concise text-book presents the foundations of electrochemistry, which is more a physical science than a chemical one. Familiarity with this topic is necessary to understand such areas as chemical power sources (Li-ion and other batteries), production of hydrogen, oxygen and other substances, application of metal coatings, manufacture of foils and nanomaterials, corrosion protection. All this is connected with the passage of electric current through solutions and with the electromotive forces. This book is a systematic presentation of all aspects of electrochemistry from theoretical foundations to practical…

Heterogeneous catalysis is deeply founded on solid state chemistry, but the relationship between the two often appears to be elusive in many cases. It is generally difficult to relate the allusion of symmetry to the crystal structure and the defect chemistry or acid-base properties to the surface reconstruction and extended defects that in most cases are the basis of physicochemical properties and solids applications. This book provides insights into solid state chemistry in order to widen the vision of heterogeneous catalysis. It covers a broad range of solid state related…

This book will strengthen the knowledge of mechanistic organic chemistry for organic chemists who have completed a bachelor’s degree and want to start researching in a laboratory or working in a chemical company. Hardly ever does an organic synthesis advance according to plan. Diligently designed synthetic schemes stumble upon the laboratory reality of meagre yields, side reactions, and unwanted products. To fight against that we have a magnificent intellectual tool: reaction mechanisms. In the course of an undergraduate degree, the student assimilates an assortment of unadorned reaction mechanisms, when in…
Organic synthesis rarely goes to plan. To fight meagre yields and side reactions, you need to master reaction mechanisms. This book moves you from knowing the simple steps of an undergraduate degree to envisioning the convoluted mechanisms needed in professional practice.
