Physical Chemistry

Molecular modeling is becoming an increasingly important part of chemical research and education. This volume provides the fundamental theory needed to understand not only what molecular modeling programs do, but also the gist of research papers that describe molecular modeling results. It begins by..

Nonequilibrium Processes in Catalysis presents modern ideas and experimental data (e.g., molecular beams, laser technique) on adsorption and catalysis, the mechanism of energy exchange in the processes of particles interaction with a surface, and the lifetimes of excited particles on a surface...

Novel Surfactants..

Focuses on complex naturally occurring and synthetic supramolecular arrays. The text describes applications of photochemistry in cystalline organic matrices; covers two-component crystals - crystalline molecular compounds, mixed crystals and simple mechanical mixtures - in solid and liquid phases; a..

Organic Photochemistry..

This text examines organic, physical and materials photochemistry. It reports the first example of a TiO2 sensitization with a fullerene-based donor-acceptor dyad, and covers halophenols, diflusinal photochemistry, hydroxystyrenes, acetylenes, and other related compounds. The volume also investigate..

Through a solid assessment of parallel computing hardware issues, parallel programming practices, and implementation of key methods, this book enables readers to develop and implement efficient quantum chemistry software capable of utilizing large-scale parallel computers. It addresses specific para..

This work comprises the proceedings of the Fourth Symposium on Particles on Surfaces. Papers cover: adhesion-induced deformations of particles on surfaces; the use of atomic force microscopy in probing particle-particle adhesion; particle contamination in microelectronics, on spacecraft, and on opti..

The structural knowledge gained from crystallography has been instrumental in acquiring new levels of understanding in numerous scientific areas. This reference provides an overview of the current state of crystallography, reviews its historical origins, and emphasizes the societal impacts of crysta..

This text discusses di-p-methane rearrangements via radical-cation intermediates, the photo-Fries rearrangement in organized media and of biologically active compounds, electron transfer leading to fragmentation, dimerization, and nucleophilic capture, and the characterization and reactivity of phot..

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters._x005F_x000D_ Physical chemistry covers diverse topics, from biochemistry to materials properties to the development of quantum computers. Physical chemistry applies physics and math to problems that interest chemists, biologists, and engineers. P..

The aim of this book is to provide both a rigorous view and a more practical, understandable view of industrial chemistry and biochemical physics. This book is geared toward readers with both direct and lateral interest in the discipline. This volume is structured into different parts devoted to ind..
