This
is the first modern textbook, written in the 21st century, to make
explicit the many connections between physical organic chemistry and critical
fields such as organometallic chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic
chemistry, and biochemistry.
In the latter part of the 20th century, the field of physical organic
chemistry went through dramatic changes, with an increased emphasis on
noncovalent interactions and their roles in molecular recognition,
supramolecular chemistry, and biology; the development of new materials with novel structural features; and the use of computational
methods. Contemporary chemists must
be just as familiar with these newer fields as with the more established
classical topics.
This
completely new landmark text is intended to bridge that gap. In addition
to covering thoroughly the core areas of physical organic chemistry -
structure and mechanism - the book will escort
the practitioner of organic chemistry into a field that has been thoroughly
updated. The
foundations and applicabilities of modern computational methods are also
developed.
Written
by two distinguished researchers in this field, Modern
Physical Organic Chemistry can serve as a text for a year-long course
targeted to advanced undergraduates or first-year graduate students, as well as
for a variety of shorter courses on selected aspects of the field.
It will also serve as a landmark new reference text, and as an
introduction to many of the more advanced topics of interest to modern
researchers. 'A most impressive resource for researchers and teachers, and yet it also offers an accessible entree into the topics for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates... well structured and very pleasant to read... a book I am very happy to have on my shelf.' - The Times Higher Education Supplement
