Chemical Kinetics: The Study of Reaction Rates in Solution

All aspects of reactions in solution are discussed. It gives a complete treatment of linear free-energy relationships and solvent effects. The latest ideas on transition state location and energy barrier height in concerted reactions are described. The book is quite "user-friendly" since the derivations of mathematical equations are detailed. The examples in the book utilize data from the primary literature. There is a heavy use in this book of contemporary instrumental methods. An example would be the book's treatment of NMR. The text is intended for students of biology, chemistry, physics, and pharmaceuticals.
