Zusatztext … a valuable resource for graduate students and new researchers who are fascinated by the nature of chirality or interested in making contributions to this field. —W.Andy Tao, Purdue University writing in the Journal of the American Chemical Society , 2010, Vol. 132 Informationen zum Autor Anne Zehnacker was born in 1962 and is a director of research at the French Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). She started studying chemistry in Strasbourg, France and earned a PhD on the electronic spectroscopy of aromatic molecules at the Orsay University in 1988. She spent one year in the theoretical chemistry group in CEN Saclay. She is a member of the French Chemical Society and has been an invited scientist in several universities, including Sendai (Japan), Warsaw (Poland), Seoul (Korea), Melbourne (Australia), Göttingen (Germany), and Toledo (Spain). She serves as a member of the advisory committee of Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP). Her work focuses on molecular interactions and photoinduced processes in clusters. She was awarded the CNRS "bronze medal" in 1992 and the prize of the Physical Chemistry Division of the French Chemical Society in 2003 for her work on chiral recognition in jet-cooled complexes. Klappentext An exploration of the fundamental aspects of chiral recognition at the molecular level! this book describes the forces at play in chiral recognition. Providing a unifying view of recent research results! the book includes topics that have direct relevance to the rational design of chiral separation media and understanding fundamental reactions between molecules. The text summarizes! expands! and connects new data so that it can be appreciated and used by a more general scientific audience. Edited by an expert in the field! with contributors of equal caliber! the book is quite possibly the first comprehensive review of state of the art work that has occurred during the past 10 years. Zusammenfassung Understanding the molecular interactions responsible for chiral recognition is of primary importance in life chemistry. This volume describes the structural and energetic aspects of these interactions. Inhaltsverzeichnis Valence Photoelectron Circular Dichroism of Gas Phase Enantiomers.
