Synthesis, Structure, Properties, And Applications

The use of copper, silver, gold and platinum in jewelry as a measure of wealth is well known. This book contains chapters written by international authors on other uses and applications of noble and precious metals (copper, silver, gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, and rhenium).

Authors: Mamedov, Vakhid A.
The first and only book that comprehensively describes the opportunities quinoxalines offer as reagents for the synthesis of biologically important condensed derivatives
The book explains new acid-catalyzed rearrangements of quinoxalinones giving benzimidazoles when exposed to nucleophilic reactants, thus leading to biheterocyclic systems
The understanding of the methods and mechanisms of the reactions presented will allow synthetic chemists to extend these ideas to other processes in achieving their goals

A must-have resource to the booming field of sulfur-containing polymers
Sulfur-Containing Polymers is a state-of-the-art text that offers a synthesis of the various sulfur-containing polymers from low-cost sulfur resources such as elemental sulfur, carbon disulfide (CS2), carbonyl sulfide (COS) and mercaptan. With contributions from noted experts on the topic, the book presents an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms related to the synthesis of sulfur-containing polymers. The book also includes a review of the various types of sulfur-containing polymers, such as: poly(thioester)s, poly(thioether)s and poly(thiocarbonate)s and poly(thiourethane)s with linear or hyperbranched (dendrimer) architectures. The expert authors provide the fundamentals on the structure-property relationship and applications of sulfur-containing polymers.
