Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds of carbon. The
ability of carbon to link together to form long chain molecules and
ring compounds as well as bonding with many other elements has led
to a vast array of organic compounds. These compounds are central
to life, forming the basis for organic molecules such as nucleic
acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. In this Very Short
Introduction Graham Patrick covers the whole range of organic
compounds and their roles. Beginning with the structures and
properties of the basic groups of organic compounds, he goes on to
consider organic compounds in the areas of pharmaceuticals,
polymers, food and drink, petrochemicals, and nanotechnology. He
looks at how new materials, in particular the single layer form of
carbon called graphene, are opening up exciting new possibilities
for applications, and discusses the particular challenges of
working with carbon compounds, many of which are colourless.
Patrick also discusses techniques used in the field. ABOUT THE
SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University
Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and
