Book excerpt: John Meurig Thomas is a former Director of the Royal Institution of Great Britain, a former head of the Department of Physical Chemistry and former Master of Peterhouse, University of Cambridge. A world-renowned solid-state, materials and surface chemist, he has been an educator, researcher, academic administrator, author of university texts, government advisor, industrial consultant and trustee of national museums in a career spanning over 50 years. Recipient of many international awards, including the Linus Pauling, Willard–Gibbs, Kapitza, Natta, Stokes, Davy and Faraday medals, he is also a fellow of the Royal Society (1977), of the American Philosophical Society (1993) and of ten other national academies. He is best known for his fundamental work in heterogeneous catalysis, chemical electron microscopy and in the popularisation of science, for which, in conjunction with his services to chemistry, he was knighted (1991). He is also founding editor of three scientific journals and editor or co-editor of some 30 monographs. A new mineral, meurigite, was named in his honour (1995). Most recently in 2016, Sir John was awarded the Royal Medal for Physical Sciences by the Royal Society. Drawn from over 1200 publications, this volume contains a summarised account of Sir John's work, with a selection of the new techniques pioneered and discovered by him and his colleagues. Also included are popular science articles, and various illustrations of techniques which have enhanced our knowledge of many facets of condensed matter science. Contributions from 80 peers, colleagues, former co-workers, students and friends worldwide who have interacted with or been influenced by him are a tribute to the professional and personal life of Sir John, making this book a unique reflective summary of the work of one of the greatest achievers in modern British physical science.
Download or read book Selected Papers of Robert S Mulliken written by Robert S. Mulliken and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1975-08 with total page 1180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together in one volume the most important papers of Robert S. Mulliken, who was awarded the 1966 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his seminal work on chemical bonds and the electronic structures of molecules. The papers collected here range from suggestive to closely detailed analyses of various topics in the theory of spectra and electronic structure of diatomic and polyatomic molecules. Professor Mulliken has written introductory commentaries on each of the volume's seven parts. Included in the volume are essays of general as well as scientific interest; they are grouped under thematic headings. Part I contains those papers which are of historical significance. An autobiographical piece by Dr. Mulliken offers a glimpse of the many famous people whom he has known. Also reprinted is the text of his Nobel Prize acceptance speech. At the end is a list of his students and other co-workers, and a complete bibliography of his papers. Part II includes Mulliken's work on band spectra and chemistry as well as his research on the assignment of quantum numbers for electrons in molecules. Part III surveys the author's early work on the bonding power of electrons and the method of molecular orbitals. Included is a discussion of the structure and spectra of a number of important types of molecules. The papers in part IV focus on the intensities of electronic transitions in molecular spectra. This incorporates Mulliken's work on charge transfer and the halogen molecule spectra. The problems addressed in part V center on the spectra and structure of polyatomic molecules. Reprinted here is a report which Mulliken prepared on notation for polyatomic molecules. Part VI is devoted to the problem of hyperconjugation. These papers develop and apply the concept of hyperconjugation and explore its relation to the concept of conjugation. The last part offers some of the most important papers from the author's postwar publications. The central focus is on molecular orbital theory, the area in which Mulliken's Nobel-winning discoveries were made.
Download or read book Reason And Imagination Reflections On Research In Organic Chemistry Selected Papers Of Derek H R Barton written by Derek H R Barton and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996-03-21 with total page 891 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the recognition of new principles in Organic Chemistry. It is also about the discovery and invention of Chemical Reactions. In addition, it deals with the determination of structure by chemical degradation during the epoch when physical methods were not well developed. Also presented are new reagents and new types of functional groups never seen in chemistry before. The overall aim of the collected papers is to show how thought can direct original research and to demonstrate how thought about old or new chemical facts can lead to originality. This is further illuminated by commentaries which Prof Barton has written to accompany these papers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected Works in Organic Chemistry focuses on the processes, methodologies, reactions, and approaches involved in organic chemistry, including analysis of diazo compounds and infrared absorption spectra. The publication first offers information on the method of synthesis of aromatic organomercury salts; method of synthesis of symmetrical aromatic organomercury compounds; and diazo method of synthesis of aromatic organomercury compounds with negative substituent in nucleus. The reaction of aliphatic diazo compounds with mercury salts and synthesis of organotin compounds through diazo compounds are also discussed. The manuscript takes a look at the synthesis of aromatic organometal compounds of bismuth through diazo compounds; synthesis of aromatic germanium compounds through aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborate; and reduction of organomercury compounds by bivalent tin salts as a method of synthesis. The text also examines the activation energy of the disaggregation process of associated alkoxy titanium derivatives and determination of positions of substituents in ferrocene compounds by means of infrared absorption spectra. The publication is a valuable reference for readers interested in organic chemistry.

Download or read book Frontier Orbitals And Reaction Paths Selected Papers Of Kenichi Fukui written by Hiroshi Fujimoto and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-11-26 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of selected papers on the Frontier Orbital Theory by Nobel prizewinner Kenichi Fukui (Chemistry 1981), with introductory notes. It provides the basic concept and formulation of the theory, and the physical and chemical significance of the frontier orbital interactions in chemistry, together with many practical applications. The formulation of the Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate and applications to some simple systems are also presented. The aim of this volume is to show by what forces chemical reactions are driven and to demonstrate how the regio- and stereo-selectivities are determined in chemical reactions. Students and senior investigators will gain insight into the nature of chemical reactions and find out how quantum chemical calculations are connected with chemical intuition.
