Chemistry Under Extreme and Non–Classical Conditions

The very best and latest advances compiled in a single volume––an ideal resource for graduate students and researchers . . .
Here is the perfect introduction to chemistry under extreme or non–classical conditions, including use of high temperature species, high pressure, supercritical media, sonochemistry, and microwave chemistry. Written by leading experts in their respective fields, this unique text applies a unified approach to each method, including background, instrumentation, examples, information on industrial applications (where relevant), and sources for further reading. Featured topics:
∗ Chemical Synthesis Using High Temperature Species
∗ Effect of Pressure on Inorganic Reactions
∗ Effect of Pressure on Organic Reactions
∗ Organic Synthesis at High Pressure
∗ Inorganic and Related Chemical Reactions in Supercritical Fluids
∗ Organic Chemistry in Supercritical Fluids
∗ Industrial and Environmental Applications of Supercritical Fluids
∗ Ultrasound as a New Tool for Synthetic Chemists
∗ Applications of High Intensity Ultrasound in Polymer Chemistry
∗ Chemistry Under Extreme Conditions in Water Induced Electrohydraulic Cavitation and Pulsed–Plasma Discharges
∗ Microwave Dielectric Heating Effects in Chemical Synthesis
∗ Biomolecules Under Extreme Conditions
