Energy insight from past

This book is the culmination of Peter Hoffmann s work over the past three decades to chronicle the progress of hydrogen energy from a vision to a niche market to its position today on the brink of full commercialization. He describes the various ways hydrogen can be made, stored, and used, and offers insightful analyses of the remaining technical and economic obstacles to the widespread use of hydrogen. 

Diradicals are atoms or molecules in which two electrons occupy two orbitals that have the same or nearly the same energy. Organic diradicals, which are the focus of this article, have been the subject of many calculations and experiments during the past 30 years. The qualitative insights and quantitative results that have come from calculations on organic diradicals have stimulated and guided experimentalists working in this field of chemistry and provided interpretations of their experimental results.
