Concise, accurate, in-depth definitions of all key terms and
concepts in organic chemistry
The language of organic chemistry embodies a unique set of
concepts and nuanced meanings. For more than a quarter of a
century, students and professionals seeking to acquire a quick and
thorough familiarity with that language have turned to The
Vocabulary of Organic Chemistry.
No mere alphabetical listing, this one-of-a-kind reference
comprises eighteen topical chapters covering key subject areas in
organic chemistry and related fields--from atomic orbital theory to
polymer chemistry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to the
chemical utilization of fossil fuels. Related terms and
concepts--such as catalyst and zoelite--appear in the same chapter
and in close proximity to one another, thus placing them in context
and making it easier for readers to grasp fine distinctions. And
throughout, specific examples and clearly drawn structures help to
clarify key concepts.
Revised and updated for the twenty-first century, The Vocabulary
and Concepts of Organic Chemistry, Second Edition offers: Hundreds
of terms and concepts--fully explained and in context Myriad
examples and illustrations Brief introductory narratives that help
place subject areas in historical perspective New sections on the
four common spectroscopies (NMR, IR, Mass, UV) and
photochemistry
Written by an author team with nearly one and a half centuries
of combined teaching and research experience, this book is an ideal
study aid for undergraduate and graduate students and a valuable
professional resource for chemists who want to brush up on specific
areas in organic chemistry.
