Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions

Book Description

Despite the central role anionic species have been shown to play in both mineralogical and biological processes, until now there have been no comprehensive references dealing exclusively with anionic coordination chemistry. Written by a group comprising pioneering researchers from the United States and Europe, Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions covers all theoretical and practical aspects of anion complexation, from thermodynamics and structure to catalysis and various applications. The authors begin with the 1967 discovery of halide inclusion by bicyclic diammonium receptors and trace the development of anion coordination chemistry through the most recent developments in the field. Topics covered in detail include:
* Pre-supramolecular anion chemistry
* Natural and artificial molecules that can act as anion receptors
* Preorganization and chemical design
* Structural, thermodynamic, electrochemical, and photochemical aspects of anion coordination
* Computer methods for receptor design and multiple host-guest relations
* Anion receptor catalysis and molecular recognition and transformation of nucleotides

Supramolecular Chemistry of Anions is a valuable professional resource for organic and inorganic chemists, analytical chemists, biotechnologists, pharmaceutical scientists, and environmental chemists. It also serves as an excellent graduate-level text for students of molecular recognition, catalysis, and biomimetic chemistry.

Why did My Uncle use Acetic Acid?.......2007-05-16

Though my Uncle thought he was creating a wonderful low-profile reduction scheme using palladium metal and an electric current; he kinda dropped the ball by using Acetic Acid as one of the solvents. Acetic Acid has become closely watched as it is the reagent used to convert Morphine into Heroin. Why has My Uncle has sent us over to that side of town to make a little meth? All I can say is the guy has a weird sense of humor. That being said My Uncle did include a little synth my sister Wendsday wrote up detailing how to make bromosafrole, from very common materials. This is the real success of the book; as it a true "Apartment dwellers X".

Great Book.......2006-02-25

This book could be considered an addon for Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture - Uncle Fester's most popular book. As he says in the book, there is nothing 'advanced' about the book - and he is right, the chemistry is just as simple as in Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture; he simply needed a good title, and what a good title this is!

The "jewel" of this book is the electrolytic reduction of ephedrine into methamphetamine. Essentially, Fester tells you a way to make methamphetamine conveniently in a dormroom, using electricity! It's quite amazing, and only requires half of the chemicals as in a normal methamphetamine reaction. Also offered in this book is many more methods for obtaining phenylacetone, and methylamine. Another cool part of this book is "Apartment Dweller's Crank or X." He also covers more - even more convenient - methods for converting safrole into MDMA (Ecstasy).

Truely a very nice book, you will like it if you liked Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture.

This book is as useless as the first edition.......2005-07-06

This author previously wrote a book called secrets of methamphetamine manufacture, which has so many errors in it that nothing will work as stated. See erowid.org/archive/rhodium/chemistry/eleusis/eleusis.vs.fester.html for a thorough analysis of the mistakes in this book. This new edition is equally as useless. The author obviously has no real knowledge of chemistry and He should be the last person on earth to write a book on this subject. It is a complete waste of money. You can find much more accurate information free on the internet.

Be a PhD on MET.......2004-09-30

This book I think is like a PhD on MET.
MET is not what people say about it. If you want to know (and can handle) the reality about this topic, this books is for you.
I do not use, nor like, drugs, but if ever you go to combat (I'm meaning war), MET is a real need to keep you alive and asleep.
I know that because I was there; I'm a former special-operations officer with 16 years of service in my country's intelligence agency (something like a "mix" of CIA/FBI/Secret Service, now defunct), and I have done years of overseas "contractor" work... I've been in five major guerrilla wars (Angola, Mozambique, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Lebanon), and have done some High-Risk/Short-Time operations on some other dark nasty little places; these times, a dose of MET can mean the difference between coming back in one piece, or not comming back at all.
For the Militia-engaged, MET is an unvaluable "weapon".

Advanced Techniques of Clandestine Psychedelic & Amphetamine.......2004-09-28

This is a must-have for those interested in the processes of mind-altering potions! Who else, but the master himself, Uncle Fester, explores the methods for exploring one's own mind!

Book Description

A reliable, comprehensive, relevant view of HPLC and its applications

The development of HPLC-PED represents the successful marriage of two powerful analytical technologies and has resulted in the best technique for sensitive and direct detection of biological compounds with poor optical detection properties. PED has been used extensively for the determination of carbohydrates and other polar aliphatic compounds, and as a result, numerous methods have been developed to enable the analysis of a wide variety of samples. Over the years, many articles, anecdotal information, and misinformation have permeated the scientific community, with the possible consequence of confusion or uncertainty with regard to PED on the part of the analyst. Pulsed Electrochemical Detection in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography presents a reliable, comprehensive, and relevant review of HPLC-PED and its applications.

The book is divided into three major parts: background material necessary for a more thorough understanding of the principles and relevance of PED; an in-depth discussion of PED using voltammetry and other electroanalytical techniques and presenting the advantages, applicability, and optimization of all existing PED waveforms; and practical aspects of HPLC-PED, including a summary of the major applications and a look at future developments in the technique. Appendices include a pulsed voltammetry (PV) program specifically written to optimize pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) waveforms and all the known applications, categorized and listed in tabular form.

For analytical chemists; biochemists; carbohydrate chemists; biotechnologists; undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students; and lab technicians working in a range of areas including the pharmaceutical, medical, and food and beverage industries, this eminently readable guide is the first reliable book-length treatment of how to use PED coupled with HPLC.

A waste of money.......2005-06-16

This book is a tremendous disappointment. Don't be misled by its title, it is NOT a survey of the molecular electronics field. Instead, it's based on the very particular technology and experience of Prof. Tour and his colleagues.

The book's contents are primarily: (a) a very brief commentary on the nanotechnology business, based on Prof. Tour's experience, (b) a description of particular technology of Prof. Tour's start-up, and (c) detailed chemical synthesis protocols for compounds relevant mainly to Prof. Tour's company's technology. Part (c) is by far the longest segment of the book.

I was benchmarking for a possible VC investment in this field around the time this book was written. Prof. Tour's company was among those I looked at (albeit without any direct interaction with the company or Prof. Tour himself). On that basis, I'd suggest that his description of his start-up experience might not be particularly enlightening for others. The fact that it's described in a turgid and pompous style doesn't help, either.

Great book!.......2003-06-28

This book is great! Everyone should buy it! It combines both corporate and scientific information! This is a must-buy!

Handbook of Capillary Electrophoresis, Second Edition

ASIN: 0127423567

Book Description

In the 1980s, capillary electrophoresis (CE) joined high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as the most powerful separation technique available to analytical chemists and biochemists. Published research using CE grew from 48 papers in the year of commercial introduction (1988) to 1200 in 1997. While only a dozen major pharmaceutical and biotech companies have reduced CE to routine practice, the applications market is showing real or potential growth in key areas, particularly in the DNA marketplace for genomic mapping and forensic identification. For drug development involving small molecules (including chiral separations), one CE instrument can replace 10 liquid chromatographs in terms of speed of analysis. CE also uses aqueous rather than organic solvents and is thus environmentally friendlier than HPLC. The second edition of Practical Capillary Electrophoresis has been extensively reorganized and rewritten to reflect modern usage in the field, with an emphasis on commercially available apparatus and reagents. This authoritative and very comprehensible treatment builds on the author's extensive experience as an instructor of short courses for the American Chemical Society and for industry.

Key Features
* Illustrated with detailed diagrams of electrophoretic phenomena
* Offers step-by-step methods development schemes
* Presents techniques for developing quantitative, robust, and precise methods
* Includes an extensive troubleshooting guide
* Updates and greatly expands on the first edition-more than 50% of the text is new
* Written by an internationally recognized scientist who is an instructor for American Chemical Society short courses on HPCE

Book Description

Every serious student of chemistry should try to develop a `feel' for the way molecules behave - for the way they are put together and especially for the rules of engagement which operate when molecules meet and react. This primer describes how stereoelectronic effects control this behaviour. It is the only concise text on this topic at an undergraduate level. This is an important subject area and the comprehensive yet concise coverage in this book shows students how to build up a powerful but simple way of thinking about chemistry.

Word problems made easy.......2003-12-12

I decided to buy this book while I was enrolled in a general chemistry course, in order to get more practice at solving word problems and to gain better insight at how to do so. This book presents any type of word problem that you are likely to face in a general chemistry class ( stoichiometry,concentrations,gas laws,thermochemistry,electrochemistry,equilibrium,colligative properties, and thermodynamics), and describes how to solve it along with explanations of the concepts involved.

Each section starts with a short description of the theory behind the problems to follow so you gain an understanding of the chemistry behind the problem. Afterward, serveral word problems of that type are fully worked out so a full understanding can be gained. Each chapter concluded with numerous supplementary problems followed by the answers. Highly recommended.

Solid clarification, even for the VERY LOST........2003-09-29

For all those who thought they had substantial mathematical skills and overall capacity for learning chemistry (and realized they were sorely mistaken by the third lecture), THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. I am a reasonably intelligent person and a really good student, but my ego shrank to infinitesmal proportions when I tried chem in preparation for medical training.

Goldberg's written word sounds like you're sitting in a lecture, only clearer. Don't give up, just get the right way to learn it. Goldberg's writing is a good start.
