Böcker i Topics in Physical Chemistry-serien

This book discusses applications of fractal geometry to complex problems in molecular biophysics. It provides a treatment of fractal aspects of protein and structure dynamics, fractal reaction kinetics in biochemical systems, sequence correlations in DNA, and descriptors of chaos in enzymes.

This symposium volume will cover the latest research findings in high-temperature materials from a range of experimental and computational materials scientists.

This is a guide for the growing number of researchers in organic chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology who would like to augment their experiments with theoretical calculations. The book teaches the use of quantum chemical computer programs while side-stepping the complex mathematics.

This work covers important new developments since 1990 in the area of cluster chemistry. The cluster reactions reviewed in this work include electron and proton transfer reactions, hot atom reactions, vibrational predissociation, radical reactions and ionic reactions.

Explains the literature in which the characteristics of hydrogen bonds have been probed by quantum chemical methods. After an explanation as to how various properties are calculated, this book describes the results that have been obtained in various systems, focusing on the energetics, equilibrium geometries, and vibrational spectras.

This monograph presents a fresh appraisal of the mathematics of the wave functions that provide the theoretical underpinnings for molecular spectroscopy.

Assuming no more than an undergraduate knowledge of chemistry, the authors take the reader through the necessary mathematical and theoretical background of oscillating reactions, chaos and chemical waves to advanced topics of current research interest in chemical systems, including applications biology and polymers. Demonstrations and laboratory experiments are also presented.
