Book 1

The scope of this volume ranges from concepts as qualitative as relative electronegativities and chemical topology to treatments as rigorous as state-of-the-art calculations on organic molecules, and species whose complexity ranges from carbenes to multiply bonded silicon, polyhedral boranes and other cluster compounds, and the inorganic solid state.

Book 2

Physical Measurements

by Joel F Liebman and Arthur Greenberg

Published 31 December 1987
This volume presents an extensive variety of modern physical methods for the determination, interrelation, estimation, and understanding of the properties of complex molecules. Condensed and gas phase inorganic, organic, and organometallic species are discussed and correlated. Useful data compendia supplement the text.

Book 3

The seven contributors in this volume focus on molecular structure and energetics in organic chemistry. All the essays explicitly compare and interweave the results from experimental and computational theory.

Book 4

Biophysical Aspects

by Joel F Liebman and Arthur Greenberg

Published 31 December 1987
This volume coherently treats both the molecule and the organism and discusses species as diverse yet interrelated as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons on airborne particulates, enzymes, their substrates, and the proton. Qualitative models, molecular modeling and mechanics, structure/activity relationships, and rigorous quantum chemical calculation complement a variety of modern experimental methods.

Book 5

This book is a comprehensive treatment of the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE), an important branch of NMR spectroscopy concerned with structural and conformational problems. It is the only text in this area since 1971. Since that time there have been tremendous changes in the area, particularly with the growth of experiments such as NOE difference spectroscopy, NOESY, and heteronuclear NOE, with applications to an ever-increasing variety of structural and conformational problems in chemistry and biochemistry. The book gives a very clear and integrated account of all these developments. It covers theory, experimental practice, and applications in a unified manner including the influence of exchange and spin-spin-coupling as part of its underlying concepts, and applications to molecules as diverse as cyclobutanes and proteins. The book is of interest primarily to postgraduate organic and inorganic chemists and biochemists who use the NOE in their research, but it is also useful to those who wish to learn the background to the technique, for instance computational chemists, biophysicists, and physical chemists.
Although it describes and explains the latest developments, the treatment is suitable for those with only a graduate-level background in chemistry and spectroscopy.
