Analytical chemistry is the study of what chemicals are present and in what amount in natural and artificial materials. Because these understandings are fundamental in just about every chemical inquiry, analytical chemistry is used to obtain information, ensure safety, and solve problems in many different chemical areas, and is essential in both theoretical and applied chemistry. Analytical chemistry is driven by new and improved instrumentation. This collection presents a broad selection of chapters on analytical chemistry, including methods of determination and analysis as applied to...

This book presents a range of research on important topics in the field. Of the approximately 11 million known chemical compounds, about 10 million are organic. Organic chemists are currently working to produce better polymers with specific properties, such as biodegradable plastics. The understanding of new drug structures from plants and the synthesis of improved pharmaceuticals is another area of great interest. Organic chemists are also researching the reactions that occur in living systems and understanding the molecular causes of disease.

This new volume presents a selection of chapters on topics in the field of physical chemistry. Physical chemistry is the study of how molecular and atomic levels of materials behave and how chemical reactions occur, knowledge which is relevant in nearly every area of chemistry. It covers diverse topics, from biochemistry to materials properties to the development of quantum computers.

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
