Opis

Stereoelectronic effects control the way molecules are put together an d account for the "rules of engagement" which operate when molecules m eet and react. Understanding these effects is the key to understanding molecular behavior, since the same basic three-dimensional interactio ns are responsible for both structure and reactivity. This concise and very accessible volume provides a comprehensive, intentionally non-ma thematical coverage of stereochemistry, along with an in-depth discuss ion of the main classes of organic reactions, promoting a logical and simple way of thinking about chemistry.

Recenzje

The subject is presented authoritatively, systematically and concisely without resort to mathematical treatment. As this subject is often given little coverage in textbooks or organic chemistry this text is to be welcomed. Aslib Book Guide, vol.61, no.11, November 1996
