The goal of this book series is to publish selected graduate texts and
stand-alone review monographs with specific themes, focusing on modern
topics and new developments in experimental and theoretical physical
chemistry and chemical physics. In review chapters, the authors are
encouraged to provide a section on future developments and needs. The
thematic coherence and depth of each volume in this series are what
distinguish it from the several other book series already existing in
physical chemistry.

![]() Spectroscopy, Dynamics and
Molecular Theory of Carbon Plasmas and Vapors
Advances in the Understanding of the Most Complex High-Temperature
Elemental System
edited
by LÃszlà Nemes (Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Hungary) & Stephan
Irle (Nagoya University, Japan)
This book is a stop-gap contribution to the science and technology of
carbon plasmas and carbon vapors. It strives to cover two strongly
related fields: the molecular quantum theory of carbon plasmas and
carbon nanostructures; and the molecular and atomic spectroscopy of
such plasmas and vapors. These two fields of research are strongly
intertwined and thus reinforce one another.

World Scientific Series in 20th Century
Chemistry - Vol. 13
![]() On Being Well-Coordinated
A Half-Century of Research on Transition Metal Complexes
This invaluable book distils the research accomplishments of Professor
Fred Basolo during the five decades when he served as a world leader in
the modern renaissance of inorganic chemistry. Its primary focus is on
the very important area of chemistry known as coordination chemistry.
Most of the elements in the periodic table are metals, and most of the
chemistry of metals involves coordination chemistry. This is the case
in the currently significant areas of research, including
organometallic homogenous catalysis, biological reactions of
metalloproteins, and even the solid state extended structures of new
materials. In these systems, the metals are of primary importance
because they are the sites of ligand substitution or redox reactions.
In the solid materials, the coordination number of the metal and its
stereochemistry are of major importance.
![]() The Chemistry of
Chlorosulfonyl Isocyanate
by Durga Nath Dhar (Indian Institute of
Technology, Kanpur, India) & Preeti Dhar (State University of New
York, New Paltz, USA)
Numerous articles have been published on cholorosulfonyl isocyanate
(CSI), but no book compiling research on this versatile reagent has
been available up to now. This book fills that gap. It provides an
overview of the research on CSI, including information about
commercially exploitable patented products involving the use of CSI.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part outlines the
reactions of CSI with a wide variety of substrates. The second part
outlines the applications of CSI in the preparation of useful products.
These applications are classified as: herbicides, pesticides, and
insecticides; antiviral and anticancer compounds; biologically active
compounds; antibiotics; and miscellaneous compounds.

Writing 2.0
A Reader and Writer's Guide ![]()
by Jean-Luc Lebrun (Trainer of researchers and
scientists from A*STAR Research Institutes, Singapore)
The book helps scientists write papers for scientific journals. Using
the key parts of typical scientific papers (Title, Abstract,
Introduction, Visuals, Structure, and Conclusions), it shows through
numerous examples, how to achieve the essential qualities required in
scientific writing, namely being clear, concise, convincing, fluid,
interesting, and organized. To enable the writer to assess whether
these parts are well written from a reader's perspective, the book also
offers practical metrics in the form of six checklists, and even an
original Java application to assist in the evaluation.
![]() Alice's Adventures In
Water-Land
by Arieh Ben-Naim (The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel) & Roberta Ben-Naim (The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Israel)
This highly illustrated book describes the properties of liquid water
and the relevance of these properties to life, in a way that makes the
content accessible to anyone. It will raise the awareness of the reader
on the vital importance of water to all life on earth. It is a book of
science interwoven into the fabric of a story.
There are very few books on water aimed at the general public. This
volume will appeal to both adults and students with its superb delivery
of scientific knowledge in highly accessible prose.
