The essential new edition of the book that put hypercarbon chemistry on the map A comprehensive and contemporary treatment of the chemistry of hydrocarbons (alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatics) towards electrophiles, Hypercarbon Chemistry, Second Edition deals with all major aspects of such chemistry involved in hydrocarbon transformations, and of the structural and reaction chemistry of carboranes, mixed hydrides in which both carbon and boron atoms participate in the polyhedral molecular frameworks. Despite the firmly established tetravalency, carbon can bond simultaneously to five or more other atoms. "Hypercarbon" bonding permeates much organic, inorganic and organometallic chemistry, and the book serves as the compendium for this phenomenon. Copious diagrams illustrate the rich variety of hypercarbon structures now known, and patterns therein. Individual chapters deal with specific categories of compound (e.g. organometallics, carboranes, carbocations) or transformations that proceed through transient hypercarbon species, detailing fundamental chemistry, including reactivity, selectivity, stereochemistry, mechanistic factors and more.

Chemists today are under the gun to find solutions to a host of tough new challenges, including diminishing oil reserves, an array of environmental hazards, and ever more stringent government regulations. Now this book helps meet these challenges by bringing together, for the first time in one volume, all major aspects of contemporary hydrocarbon chemistry. Hydrocarbon Chemistry functions equally well as a working professional reference and an advanced-level student text. Each of its twelve chapters treats a specific type of hydrocarbon transformation and reviews, in depth, all related basic chemistry—including reactivity, selectivity, stereochemistry, and numerous mechanistic aspects—as well as a wide range of practical applications. 
Offers comprehensive coverage of the chemistry of alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes and dienes, acetylenes, and aromatics <ul>
<li>Includes developments in the field through early 1994</li> <li>Treats all important aspects of the chemistry involved in hydrocarbon transformations</li> <li>Emphasizes the chemistry of processes used in the petrochemical industry, including cracking, reforming, isomerization, and alkylation</li> <li>Reviews, in detail, derivation reactions to form carbon heteroatom bonds as well as both traditional and recent hydrocarbon oxidation techniques</li> <li>Numerous formulas and flowsheets help illuminate all important concepts and practical processes discussed</li> </ul>
Destined to be the definitive work on the subject well into the twenty-first century, Hydrocarbon Chemistry is an indispensable resource for chemical and petroleum engineers; industrial researchers in organic, physical organic, and inorganic chemistry; and students of those and other related disciplines.

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 expert Árpád Molnár, the completely revised and expanded Second Edition of Hydrocarbon Chemistry provides an unparalleled contemporary assessment of the field, presenting basic concepts, current research, and future applications. Hydrocarbon Chemistry begins by discussing the general aspects of hydrocarbons, the separation of hydrocarbons from natural sources, and the synthesis from C1 precursors with recent developments for possible future applications. Each successive chapter deals with a specific type of hydrocarbon transformation. The Second Edition includes a new section on the chemical reduction of carbon dioxide–focusing on catalytic, ionic, electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, and ezymatic reductions–as well as a new chapter on new catalysts and activation methods, combinatorial chemistry, and environmental chemistry. Other topics covered include: 
<ul>
<li>Major processes of the petrochemical industry, such as cracking, reforming, isomerization, and alkylation 
</li> <li>Derivation reactions to form carbon-heteroatom bonds 
</li> <li>Hydrocarbon oxidations 
</li> <li>Metathesis 
</li> <li>Oligomerization and polymerization of hydrocarbons</li> </ul>
All chapters have been updated by adding sections on recent developments to review new advances and results. Essential reading for practicing scientists in industry, polymer and catalytic chemists, as well as researchers and graduate students, Hydrocarbon Chemistry, Second Edition remains the benchmark text in its field.

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 unusual reactions. Covering Bronsted and Leurs superacids, solid superacids, carbocations, heterocations, and catalyzed reactions, this timely volume is invaluable to professionals, faculty, and graduate students in organic, inorganic, and physical chemistry.
