Zusatztext "Kohen and Limbach have produced a massive text that broadly covers the subject of isotope effects in 42 chapters written by experts in the field. Collectively! the chapters demonstrate the very close connection between experiment and theory that is the hallmark of research on isotope effects. ?All of the chapters begin with a helpful table of contents! and most have introductory sections that provide excellent background for the subsequent advanced material."-W. Phillip Huskey! Journal of the American Chemical Society! 2006"Written by internationally recognized researchers from 13 countries! this volume (42 chapters) brings together a wide scope of different perspectives and practical developments and applications into a comprehensive reference of isotope effects that reflect the most current state-of-the-art." - In Anticancer Research! September/ October 2007! Vol. 27! No. 5A Informationen zum Autor Hans-Heinrich Limbach, Amnon Kohen Klappentext In the decade since the last comprehensive book on isotope effects was published! the field has expanded exponentially! and more and more researchers are using isotopes in their studies. Helping readers keep up with this trend! this book covers basic theory and explains how isotopes affect molecular geometries! chemical bond breaking! formation and chemical dynamics! and hydrogen transfer. Topics also include water isotope effects under pressure and effects in organic! organometallic! complex enzyme reactions. Zusammenfassung Covers the principles, methods, and a range of applications of isotope effects in the physical, biological, and environmental sciences. This work addresses fundamentals including the Bigeleisen-Mayer theory and small molecule studies. It also includes topics such as atmospheric, geologic, and extraterrestrial studies, and hydrogen isotope effects. Inhaltsverzeichnis 107068428
