Classical Books and Review Articles in Physical Organic Chemistry

10 Classical Books and Review Articles in Physical Organic Chemistry 

The early volumes of the Chemical Society s Quarterly Reviews also contain articles of value for the history of physical organic chemistry Maccoll (on colour and constitution) 401 Bell (on the use of the terms acid and base) 402 Coulson (on molecular orbitals) 403 and Hughes (on steric hindrance).404 The early volumes of Chemical Reviews similarly contain articles of value for the history of physical organic chemistry Gomberg (on free radicals) 405 Holleman (on factors influencing substitution in benzene) 406 Brpnsted (on acid-base catalysis) 407 Ingold (on electronic theories) 408 

Hammett (on quantitative study of very weak bases,409 reaction rates and indicator acidities,410 and rate-equilibrium relationships411) Hey and Waters (on free radicals) 412 Mayo and Walling (on free radicals) 413 and Dippy (on the strengths of organic acids)414 

Finally, we should mention a review article,425 some of whose content is already of historical interest and which will be increasingly of such interest as the years go by, since it will effectively summarize the state of the art of an important topic at the time it was written. This is an account by Tsuno and Fujio of the applications of the Yukawa-Tsuno equation (an extended Hammett equation originating in 1959) to car-bocationic systems. The article has about 120 pages and more than 200 references.
