CRC Press New Frontiers in Nanochemistry: Concepts, Theories, and Trends: Volume 2: Topological Nanochemistry

Product Description New Frontiers in Nanochemistry: Concepts, Theories, and Trends, Volume 2: Topological Nanochemistry is the second of the new three-volume set that explains and explores the important basic and advanced modern concepts in multidisciplinary chemistry. Under the broad expertise of the editor, this second volume explores the rich research areas of nanochemistry with a specific focus on the design and control of nanotechnology by structural and reactive topology. The objective of this particular volume is to emphasize the application of nanochemistry. With 46 entries from eminent international scientists and scholars, the content in this volume spans concepts from A-to-Z―from entries on the atom-bond connectivity index to the Zagreb indices, from connectivity to vapor phase epitaxy, and from fullerenes to topological reactivity―and much more. The definitions within the text are accompanied by brief but comprehensive explicative essays as well as figures, tables, etc., providing a holistic understanding of the concepts presented.   Review “Prof. Mihai V. Putz has done it again. Having authored a five-volume set of books on nanochemistry but a few years ago (Quantum Nanochemistry), Prof. Putz has now edited this set of three volumes, with 130 chapters/explicative essays/papers by internationally based, interdisciplinary authors. Prof. Putz clearly expresses his multiple goals for these three volumes; prominent among them is ‘to present informative and innovative contents alike, presented in a systematical and alphabetically manner.‘ The current volumes contain new insights alike for the beginning student and advanced practitioner of chemistry and of the multitude of related disciplines.  Prof. Putz, you are to be thanked for your studies, in the particular, now, for the editing of these new volumes (and also coauthoring however many chapters therein).” —Prof. Joel F. Liebman, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC)  About the Author Mihai V. Putz, PhD, MBA, Dr.-Habil, is currently a Full Professor of theoretical and computational physical-chemistry at his alma mater, West University of Timisoara, Romania.
