Advances in Physical Organic Chemistry

Advances in Physical Organic Chemistry series of volumes is the definitive resource for authoritative reviews of work in physical organic chemistry. It aims to provide a valuable source of information not only for physical organic chemists applying their expertise to both novel and traditional problems but also for non-specialists across diverse areas who identify a physical organic component in their approach to research. Its hallmark is quantitative, molecular level understanding of phenomena across a diverse range of disciplines.

Reviews the application of quantitative and mathematical methods to help readers understand chemical problemsProvides the chemical community with authoritative and critical assessments of the many aspects of physical organic chemistryCovers organic, organometallic, bioorganic, enzymes, and materials topicsThe only regularly published resource for reviews in physical organic chemistry

Chapters are written by authoritative experts
