The chemistry of reactive intermediates is central to a modernmechanistic and quantitative understanding of organic chemistry.Moreover, it underlies a significant portion of modern syntheticchemistry and is integral to a molecular view of biologicalchemistry. Reviews in Reactive Intermediate Chemistrypresents an up-to-date, authoritative guide to this fundamentaltopic. Although it follows Reactive Intermediate Chemistry by thesame authors, it serves as a free-standing resource for the entirechemical and biochemical community.
The book includes:
* Relevant, practical applications
* Coverage of such topics as mass spectrometry methods, reactiveintermediates in interstellar medium, quantum mechanicaltunnelling, solvent effects, reactive intermediates in biochemicalprocesses, and excited state surfaces
* Discussions of emerging areas, particularly those involvingdynamics and theories
* Concluding sections identifying key directions for futureresearch are provided at the end of each chapter
