Description Advances in Physical Organic Chemistry provides the chemical community with authoritative and critical assessments of the many
aspects of physical organic chemistry. The field is a fast developing one, with results and methodologies finding application from biology
to solid state physics.
This latest volume deals comprehensively with investigations that can be traced back to the birth of the field
but which are still proving critical to the understanding of the stability of organic molecules and the mechanisms for their reactions.
Audience
For organic and physical chemists and biochemists.
