Infos

This book is a basic reference providing concise, accurate definitions of the key terms and concepts of organic chemistry. Not simply a listing of organic compounds, structures, and nomenclatures, the book is organized into topical chapters in which related terms and concepts appear in close proximity to one another, giving context to the information and helping to make fine distinctions more understandable. Areas covered include: bonding, symmetry, stereochemistry, types of organic compounds, reactions, mechansims, spectroscopy, and photochemistry.

Rezensionen

"..worth having in a collection as a first place to look for an
answer." (Journal of Chemical Education, May 2006)

"...very valuable for professional chemists who wish to
review material from organic chemistry and also should be welcomed
by current organic students...highly recommended." (American
Reference Books Annual, 2006)

"....curious cross between dictionary and textbook, a
welcome update from the previous edition...offers ease of
use...highly recommended." (CHOICE, November 2005)
