Winner of the PROSE Award for Chemistry & Physics 2010

Acknowledging the very best in professional and scholarly
publishing, the annual PROSE Awards recognise publishers' and
authors' commitment to pioneering works of research and for
contributing to the conception, production, and design of landmark
works in their fields. Judged by peer publishers, librarians, and
medical professionals, Wiley are pleased to congratulate Professor
Ian Fleming, winner of the PROSE Award in Chemistry and Physics for
Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions.

Molecular orbital theory is used by chemists to describe the
arrangement of electrons in chemical structures. It is also a
theory capable of giving some insight into the forces involved in
the making and breaking of chemical bonds--the chemical
reactions that are often the focus of an organic chemist's
interest. Organic chemists with a serious interest in understanding
and explaining their work usually express their ideas in molecular
orbital terms, so much so that it is now an essential component of
every organic chemist's skills to have some acquaintance with
molecular orbital theory.

Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions is both
a simplified account of molecular orbital theory and a review of
its applications in organic chemistry; it provides a basic
introduction to the subject and a wealth of illustrative examples.
In this book molecular orbital theory is presented in a much
simplified, and entirely non-mathematical language, accessible to
every organic chemist, whether student or research worker, whether
mathematically competent or not. Topics covered include:

* Molecular Orbital Theory

* Molecular Orbitals and the Structures of Organic Molecules

* Chemical Reactions -- How Far and How Fast

* Ionic Reactions -- Reactivity

* Ionic Reactions -- Stereochemistry

* Pericyclic Reactions

* Radical Reactions

* Photochemical Reactions

Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions: Student
Edition is an invaluable first textbook on this important
subject for students of organic, physical organic and computational
chemistry.

The Reference Edition edition takes the content and the same
non-mathematical approach of the Student Edition, and adds
extensive extra subject coverage, detail and over 1500 references.
The additional material adds a deeper understanding of the models
used, and includes a broader range of applications and case
studies. Providing a complete in-depth reference for a more
advanced audience, this edition will find a place on the
bookshelves of researchers and advanced students of organic,
physical organic and computational chemistry. Further information

"These books are the result of years of work, which began as an
attempt to write a second edition of my 1976 book Frontier Orbitals
and Organic Chemical Reactions. I wanted to give a rather more
thorough introduction to molecular orbitals, while maintaining my
focus on the organic chemist who did not want a mathematical
account, but still wanted to understand organic chemistry at a
physical level. I'm delighted to win this prize, and hope a new
generation of chemists will benefit from these books."

-Professor Ian Fleming

Rezensionen

"Fleming uses nonquantitative molecular orbital theory to explain
many common phenomena in organic chemistry. As such, this is a very
powerful tool for students of advanced organic chemistry. Much of
what is taken simply on faith or with some hand waving in sophomore
organic chemistry can be readily explained with molecular orbital
theory, which is usually considered too advanced for students at
that level. Though this book could be used as the primary textbook
for a course solely on molecular orbitals in organic chemistry, it
will more likely be used as a reference source for an advanced
organic chemistry course for upper-level undergraduates or graduate
students." (CHOICE, August 2010)



"The new 'Fleming' is a must for every lecturer and every
student of chemistry--a fantastic book. In this new form the
textbook will last for another 30 years and remain as fresh as did
its predecessor!" (Angewandte Chemie International Edition
March 2010)
