Comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of onium ions-an indispensable reference for academic and industrial chemists In Onium Ions, Nobel Prize-winning chemist George Olah joins forces with coauthors Kenneth Laali, Qi Wang, and G. K. Surya Prakash to offer an in-depth look at the chemistry and reactions of these important electron-deficient ...
A detailed understanding of reactive intermediates is at the heart of chemical transformations, and thus of modern organic synthetic chemistry. Carbocations are electron deficient species that are the most important intermediates in organic chemistry. This comprehensive review gives practical information on the synthesis, mechanisms, and spectral ...
In this masterpiece, the renowned chemistry Nobel Laureate, George A. Olah and his colleagues discuss in a clear and readily accessible manner the use of methanol as a viable alternative to our diminishing fossil fuel resources. They look at the pros and cons of our current main energy sources, namely oil and natural gas, and varied renewable ...
"Superelectrophiles and Their Chemistry" contains, for the first time, a discussion of the basics of this emerging field of organic chemistry, alongside tools to help the reader apply the chemistry. Specific tools include an evaluation of the ways to increase the strength of electrophiles, the classification of superelectrophiles, the solvation ...
Inspired by a symposium held at the University of Southern California, in March 1988, dedicated to Paul van R. Schleyer, contributors examine the role of 'hypercarbons' in several areas of chemistry in this book. The multicenter bonding of 'hypercarbons' relative to the chemistry of main group elements, organometallics, cluster chemistry, ...
Written by the author of the award-winning "Chemische Kabinettstucke" this book demonstrates over 80 enjoyable, impressive and sometimes almost unbelievable chemical experiments for the classroom, lecture hall or home. All the experiments are explained in full, and have been tested several times such that their successful reproduction is ...
A survey of major research trends in synthetic fluorine chemistry. Coverage includes various aspects of organic and inorganic fluorine chemistry, fluorination methods, organometallic fluorine chemistry and its use in synthesis, and the synthesis of perfluoropolyethers.
The chemistry of superacids has developed in the last two decades into a field of growing interest and importance. Now available in a new expanded second edition, this definitive work on superacids offers a comprehensive review of superacids and discusses the development of new superacid systems and applications of superacids in the promotion of ...
Offers concise review of superacids (those much stronger than conventional mineral acids), cover the Bronsted superacids, Lewis superacids and solid superacids. Chapters are devoted to the chemistry of both carbocations and heterocations, and to catalysed reactions.
This pioneering text is the first to point out the emerging significance of higher-valent carbon compounds. It describes the compounds of carbon with coordination numbers greater than four, and explores the delocalized bonds ofaromatic molecules as a basis for rational description of orbitals; localized multicentered orbitals; the interactions of ...
The material covered in this volume compares and contrasts the structure and chemistry of boron clusters, carbon clusters, and carboranes and their derivatives. The book honours the pioneering work of William Lipscomb.
In the course of his distinguished career spanning about half a century, George A. Olah, winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, has been exceedingly prolific and has published more than 1000 scientific papers and 15 books and holds more than 100 patents. This volume contains about 250 of his papers, selected for their breadth and current ...
The fascinating autobiographical reflections of Nobel Prize winner George Olah How did a young man who grew up in Hungary between the two World Wars go from cleaning rubble and moving pianos at the end of World War II in the Budapest Opera House to winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry? George Olah takes us on a remarkable journey from Budapest to ...
Comprehensive and up-to-date, the book brings together for the first time synthetic nitration methods and mechanistic aspects of both aromatic and aliphatic nitrations. Researchers and students will appreciate the complete perspective of the whole field that this unique work offers.
Hydrocarbons and their transformations play major roles in chemistry as raw materials and sources of energy. Diminishing petroleum supplies, regulatory problems, and environmental concerns constantly challenge chemists to rethink and redesign the industrial applications of hydrocarbons. Written by Nobel Prize-winner George Olah and hydrocarbon ...
