Das vorliegende Buch will den Leser zu einem vertieften Verstandnis von Grundlagen und Anwendungen des transdisziplinaren Wissensgebiets Technische Umweltchemie fuhren, indem es den Weg vom chemischen Phanomen oder Beschreibungsansatz zur umweltchemischen Anlage oder Problemlosung nachzeichnet, der in anderen Werken meist nicht einmal erwahnt ist. Daher beginnt es mit einer Darstellung der historischen und konzeptionellen Entwicklung der Umweltchemie und leitet uber zu grundlegenden Fragen der Umweltkompartimente Luft, Wasser, Boden und daraus resultierenden Beeinflussungen von Lebewesen. Es folgt eine Betrachtung des Schadstoffbegriffs. Chemische Konzepte und Begriffe (Fallung, Redoxpotential, Photochemie usw.) bahnen, weil im Zusammenhang mit Umweltproblemen eingefuhrt und diskutiert, den Weg vom Verstandnis des rein chemischen Vorgangs zu dem eines Umweltproblems bzw. seiner Behebung. Zu den danach betrachteten physikalisch-chemischen Aspekten von Reinigungsverfahren zahlen Energetik und Materialanforderungen (Reagenzien und Katalysatoren) sowie Implikationen der chemischen Kinetik in Umweltsystemen. Das Buch wird abgerundet durch Fallstudien zu konkreten Problemstoffen (CO2 und EDTA) sowie Verfahren der Behandlung und Kartierung von Umweltbelastungen, die eine Brucke zur Praxis schlagen. Hierzu trugen zusatzliche Autoren als erfahrene Praktiker bei.
Filling the need for a volume on the organic side of nanotechnology, this comprehensive overview covers all major nanostructured materials in one handy volume. Alongside metal organic frameworks, this monograph also treats other modern aspects, such as rotaxanes, catenanes, nanoporosity and catalysis. Detailed attention is paid to the chemistry, physics and materials science throughout, making this a definite must for all chemists.
In the past few years, supramolecular chemistry has led to new approaches in homogeneous catalysis. While host-guest chemistry had already found applications in catalysis as a result of the pioneering work carried out by Professor Ronald Breslow and Nobel prizewinner Professor Jean-Marie Lehn that began some 40 years ago, the construction of catalysts by supramolecular forces has only recently become a powerful tool. This development paves the way for large numbers of new potential catalysts that can be varied in an expedient way by changing the constituting building blocks. Written by some of the leading contributors in the field, this book is intended for both industrial and academic chemists with an interest in this area of catalysis. With its discussion of topics from ligand libraries to chirality-directed self-assembly, this is a must-have for chemists with organic, catalytic and polymer backgrounds, as well as those employing such compounds in industrial processes.
This book presents all important aspects of modern alkaloid chemistry, making it the only work of its kind to offer up-to-date and comprehensive coverage. While the first part concentrates on the structure and biology of bioactive alkaloids, the second one analyzes new trends in alkaloid isolation and structure elucidation, as well as in alkaloid synthesis and biosynthesis. A must for biochemists, organic, natural products, and medicinal chemists, as well as pharmacologists, pharmaceutists, and those working in the pharmaceutical industry.
The state-of-the-art in stereoselective synthesis! Thoroughly revised and updated, this enlarged second edition offers a plethora of valuable information on methods and reagents in stereoselective synthesis. Methods have been selected for high efficiency and selectivity; mechanistic aspects are treated succinctly, with a strong emphasis on practical applications. For this new edition, material has been added on * homogeneous diastereoselective hydrogenations * enantioselective oxidations * novel, efficient chiral auxiliaries Much of the information given is presented in figures and tables, which makes the book a valuable reference work for the practically minded organic chemist. From reviews of the first edition: 'The extensive material in the volume should prove particularly useful to anyone involved in synthetic chemistry or teaching a course in organic chemistry.' Journal of Medicinal Chemistry 'With nearly 1400 references cited, the book contains a wealth of information and should be a useful addition to the chemist's library.' The American Scientist
Reactions with metals are ubiquitous in organic synthesis and, particularly in the last few years, a large repertoire of methods for the activation of metals and for their use in organic synthesis has been developed. In Active Metals, topics ranging from morphology of metal clusters and nanometallurgy to organometallic chemistry, catalysis and the use of activated metals in natural product synthesis are authoritatively discussed by leading experts in the field. Active Metals will allow you to fully benefit from the recent advances in the field by giving: * Detailed experimental procedures * Guidance on manipulation of active metals under inert atmosphere * Valuable information for planning syntheses * Extensive tables of typical conversions with yields * Critically selected, up-to-date references This handbook is a unique source of 'hands-on' information which will allow you to expand the scope of your research.
The first book on dendrimers! The authors, pioneers in this scientific field, describe basic principles and current developments in the rapidly evolving field of dendrimer research. All aspects of the subject are covered: the authors provide a historical overview, theoretical background, and discussions of the synthesis and applications of dendrimers. The book thus spans organic chemistry and more application-orientated disciplines like material science and pharmaceutical chemistry. The excellent, detailed list of references further increases the value of the book. The optimal presentation of the structural formulas of dendrimers – highly symmetrical giant molecules – helps the reader understand the sophisticated synthesis quickly. This book will set the standard for further monographs on this subject.
