This new bookbridges these two areas in order to give the reader a newperspective on the nature of organic reactivity. A key element ofthis new approach is the author's extensive nonmathematicaldescription of the recently developed curve-crossing model thatdescribes why chemical reactions have an activation barrier, andspecifies the factors that govern the barrier heights. In addition,the author draws from physical chemistry and transition-metalchemistry to present an original and detailed description ofelectron transfer theory, and covers the recent discovery that theelectron transfer process is intimately related to many basicorganic processes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book has been divided into three parts to facilitate itsmixture of classical organic chemistry with new and establishedtheoretical ideas. Part A presents an introductory description ofmolecular orbital and valence bond theories with emphasis on thequalitative aspects that can be applied to practical problems inorganic structure and reactivity. Part B describes the keyprinciples of physical organic chemistry and incorporates a mainlyqualitative description of the Marcus theory of electrontransfer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Building on the theoretical framework developed in parts A and B,part C offers an overview of the basic reactions of organicchemistry: nucleophilic and electrophilic substitution, and radicaland pericyclic reactivity. In addition, part C clearly explains themost recent unifying description of organic reactivity for organicchemists and for graduate and advanced undergraduate students.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eTHEORETICAL PRINCIPLES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fundamental Concepts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Molecular Orbital Theory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Qualitative Valence Bond Theory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Building Up Reaction Profiles Using Valence BondConfigurations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Principles of Reactivity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Structural Effects on Reactivity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ionization Potentials, Electron Affinities, and Singlet-TripletExcitations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Solvation and Solvent Effects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e REACTION TYPES.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Nucleophilic and Electrophilic Reactivity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Radical and Pericyclic Reactivity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Chemistry [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Chemistry\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Chemistry%20%5BPN%5D%22\"\u003ePN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52293508301080,"sku":"9780471555995","price":125.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471555995.jpg?v=1781643286","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/theoretical-and-physical-principles-of-organic-reactivity-hardback-9780471555995","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
