Solvent effects in chemistry / Erwin Buncel, Robert A. Stairs. [electronic resource] Buncel, E. Stairs, R. A. (Robert A.) Solvation. Chemical reactions. Solvents. QD543 541/.34 23 Includes bibliographical references and index. Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. This book introduces the concepts, theory and experimental knowledge concerning solvent effects on the rate and equilibrium of chemical reactions of all kinds. It begins with basic thermodynamics and kinetics, building on this foundation to demonstrate how a more detailed understanding of these effects may be used to aid in determination of reaction mechanisms, and to aid in planning syntheses. Consideration is given to theoretical calculations (quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, etc.), to statistical methods (chemometrics), and to modern day concerns such as ""green"" chemistry, where uti. 2015 Text 1 online resource. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9781119044307 eng Solvent effects in chemistry.
