Expanded text style

There exist two fundamentally different styles of presentation for the acyclic content of structures expanded text and condensed (Figure 2). In the expanded style, there is a different plotting coordinate for every atom. (Hydrogens are typically omitted from the diagram for clarity however, they are sometimes necessary, e.g., when they indicate stereochemistry.) In the condensed... 

Gas-phase photoprocesses is an area that has developed enormously since the appearance of the first volume of Photochemistry in 1970. This growth is reflected in almost every subsequent volume, as the reporters have had to accommodate an expanding literature covering many apparently diverse aspects of gas-phase chemistry, I am taking this opportunity to experiment with the style and presentation of this Chapter, making use of tabulated information as a source for the interested research worker and reserving the text for a slightly fuller description of new material. Emphasis has also been directed more toward processes than individual species. 

Utmost care has been taken to maintain and sustain the fimdamental philosophy of the text right from the very First Edition to the present completely revised and skilfully expanded Fourth Edition. Nevertheless, the original pattern and style of presentation of the running-text content with a specific emphasis on the synthesis of potential medicinal compotmds have been anchored strongly, for the wholesome benefits of the teachers and the taught alike.
