Calixarenes in Action is unique in a series of books devoted to this interesting class of synthetic macrocycles. Rather than emphasizing the molecular properties of calixarenes, it covers in depth their supramolecular functions, enlightening the reader as to the peculiar features of calixarenes as hosts and as platforms for the synthesis of more complex receptors and catalysts. Topics covered in detail include the use of calixarenes in: ...

The overall aim of the collected papers is to show how thought can direct original research and to demonstrate how thought about old or new chemical facts can lead to originality. ...

This two-volume set is designed for courses focused on the fundamentals of organic chemistry for premeds and chemistry or bioscience students. The first volume covers essential aspects of molecular structure, introduces the techniques of physical organic chemistry and surveys the broad classes of reactions. The second volume describes the chemical properties and reactions of the common classes of organic compounds and shows how these reactions ...

The past 15 years have witnessed tremendous advances in the design and use of organometallic complexes as precatalysts for olefin polymerization. Most recently, an intense search has been started in next-generation single-site catalysts. New approaches have been taken to ligand design. <br><br>This research has yielded extraordinary results such as catalysts with activities as high or higher than those of conventional ...

This practical guide begins with general background to the polyethylene family, with price, production and market share information. It describes the basic types of polyethylene including virgin and filled polyethylene, copolymers, block and graft polymers and composites, and reviews the types of additives used in polyethylene. It gives the low down on the properties, including, amongst others, rheological, mechanical, chemical, thermal, and ...

The effects of confinement on the surfaces of aggregates in 100-1000 A size range is an emerging field in condensed matter physics and chemistry. Much of the research focuses on how the surfaces of aggregates change when they encounter a confining surface such as a pore in a catalyst. The
field is new and could have important implications for the design of rational processes. This volume collects work from a range of scientists who are ...

Alles über Polymere in Lösung: Dieses Buch wendet sich an Fachleute aus der Polymerchemie, Analytik, Werkstoffchemie und Physikochemie. Vorrangig werden die physikalischen Eigenschaften der Polymerlösungen besprochen. ...

Übergangsmetallkomplexe gehören zu den wichtigsten Katalysatoren in der organischen Chemie. Eines der flexibelsten Zentralmetalle ist Palladium. Der Herausgeber dieses Bandes, bekannt für seine Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet der Organopalladiumverbindungen, stellte hier einschlägige Beiträge von mehr als 20 international renommierten Fachleuten zusammen. So entstand eine umfassende und maßgebende, dabei anwenderfreundlich ...
