Description

Winner of 2018 PROSE Award for MULTIVOLUME REFERENCE/SCIENCE

This encyclopedia offers a comprehensive and easy reference to physical organic chemistry (POC) methodology and techniques. It puts POC, a classical and fundamental discipline of chemistry, into the context of modern and dynamic fields like biochemical processes, materials science, and molecular electronics.

  • Covers basic terms and theories into organic reactions and mechanisms, molecular designs and syntheses, tools and experimental techniques, and applications and future directions
  • Includes coverage of green chemistry and polymerization reactions
  • Reviews different strategies for molecular design and synthesis of functional molecules
  • Discusses computational methods, software packages, and more than 34 kinds of spectroscopies and techniques for studying structures and mechanisms
  • Explores applications in areas from biology to materials science

The Encyclopedia of Physical Organic Chemistry has won the 2018 PROSE Award for MULTIVOLUME REFERENCE/SCIENCE. The PROSE Awards recognize the best books, journals and digital content produced by professional and scholarly publishers.
