Download or read book Symmetry through the Eyes of a Chemist written by Magdolna Hargittai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is gratifying to launch the third edition of our book. Its coming to life testi?es about the task it has ful?lled in the service of the com- nity of chemical research and learning. As we noted in the Prefaces to the ?rst and second editions, our book surveys chemistry from the point of view of symmetry. We present many examples from ch- istry as well as from other ?elds to emphasize the unifying nature of the symmetry concept. Our aim has been to provide aesthetic pl- sure in addition to learning experience. In our ?rst Preface we paid tribute to two books in particular from which we learned a great deal; they have in?uenced signi?cantly our approach to the subject matter of our book. They are Weyl’s classic, Symmetry, and Shubnikov and Koptsik’s Symmetry in Science and Art. The structure of our book has not changed. Following the Int- duction (Chapter 1), Chapter 2 presents the simplest symmetries using chemical and non-chemical examples. Molecular geometry is discussed in Chapter 3. The next four chapters present gro- theoretical methods (Chapter 4) and, based on them, discussions of molecular vibrations (Chapter 5), electronic structures (Chapter 6), and chemical reactions (Chapter 7). For the last two chapters we return to a qualitative treatment and introduce space-group sym- tries (Chapter 8), concluding with crystal structures (Chapter 9). For the third edition we have further revised and streamlined our text and renewed the illustrative material.

Download or read book Aromaticity written by Israel Fernandez and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluating the aromaticity of a molecular system and the influence of this concept on its properties is a crucial step in the development of novel aromatic systems. Modern computational methods can provide researchers with a high level of insight into such aromaticity, but identifying the most appropriate method for assessing a specific system can prove difficult. Aromaticity: Modern Computational Methods and Applications reviews the latest state-of-the-art computational methods in this field and discusses their applicability for evaluating the aromaticity of a system. In addition to covering aromaticity for typical organic molecules, this volume also explores systems possessing transition metals in their structures, macrocycles and even transition structures. The influence of the aromaticity on the properties of these species (including the structure, magnetic properties and reactivity) is highlighted, along with potential applications in fields including materials science and medicinal chemistry. Finally, the controversial and fuzzy nature of aromaticity as a concept is discussed, providing the basis for an updated and more comprehensive definition of this concept. Drawing on the knowledge of an international team of experts, Aromaticity: Modern Computational Methods and Applications is a unique guide for anyone researching, studying or applying principles of aromaticity in their work, from computational and organic chemists to pharmaceutical and materials scientists. - Reviews a range of computational methods to assess the aromatic nature of different compounds, helping readers select the most useful tool for the system they are studying - Presents a complete guide to the key concepts and fundamental principles of aromaticity - Provides guidance on identifying which variables should be modified to tune the properties of an aromatic system for different potential applications

Download or read book Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry Part II written by Dr. A. AHMED RAZA & Dr. SEENU RAVI and published by Shashwat Publication. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for the postgraduate students of chemistry aspiring to crack competitive examinations such as CSIR-NET, GATE, SLET/SET and PhD entrance examinations. Presently, admission to PhD programs in premier institutions like IITs, NITs, CSIR laboratories, central universities and state universities is based on either NET/GATE certificate or PhD entrance examinations. Further, the minimum eligibility criteria laid by UGC for the direct recruitment of Assistant Professors in the higher educational institutions is a postgraduate degree with NET/SLET/SET certificate. Thus, the students are bound to pass these examinations to pursue a bright career either in research or in academic teaching. The cut off for qualifying these exams is 40 to 50%. However, the qualifying percentage of the candidates appearing for these examinations is around 5% only. Therefore, an attempt has been made by authors to develop study material pertaining to the syllabus of these exams along with the solved problems from the previous year question papers which will guide the students to qualify easily.
