Undergraduate

Students and instructors). Each chapter presents first the basic surface chemistry of the topic, with optional material in small print. Derivations are generally given in full and this core material is reinforced by means of problems at the end of the chapter. A solutions manual is available to instructors. It is assumed that students have completed the usual undergraduate year course in physical chemistry. As a text for an advanced course, the basic material is referenced to fundamental, historical sources, and to contemporary ones where new advances have been incorporated. There are numerous examples and data drawn from both the older and from current literature.

There are 42 Computer Projeets ineluded in this text. Several of the Computer Projeets eonneet with the researeh literature and lead to extensions suitable for undergraduate or MS thesis projeets. All of the eomputer projeets in this book have been sueeessfully run by the author. Unfortunately, we still live in an era of system ineompatibility. The instiuetor using these projeets in a teaehing laboratory is urged... 

The treatment is at the upperclass undergraduate or beginning graduate level. Considerable introduetor y material and material on eornputational methods are given so as to make the book suitable for self-study by professionals outside the elassroom. An effort has been made to avoid logieal gaps so that the presentation ean be understood without the aid of an instruetor. Forty-six self-eontained eomputer projeets are included. 

This text is intended for use by beginning graduate students and advaneed upper division undergraduate students in all areas of ehemistry. 

As ehemists, mueh of our intuition eoneeming ehemieal bonds is built on simple models introdueed in undergraduate ehemistry eourses. The detailed examination of the H2 moleeule via the valenee bond and moleeular orbital approaehes forms the basis of our thinking about bonding when eonfronted with new systems. Let us examine this model system in further detail to explore the eleetronie states that arise by oeeupying two orbitals (derived from the two Is orbitals on the two hydrogen atoms) with two eleetrons. 

It is assumed that the reader has previously learned, in undergraduate inorganie or physieal ehemistry elasses, how symmetry arises in moleeular shapes and struetures and what symmetry elements are (e.g., planes, axes of rotation, eenters of inversion, ete.). For the reader who feels, after reading this appendix, that additional baekground is needed, the texts by Cotton and EWK, as well as most physieal ehemistry texts ean be eonsulted. We review and teaeh here only that material that is of direet applieation to symmetry analysis of moleeular orbitals and vibrations and rotations of moleeules. We use a speeifie example, the ammonia moleeule, to introduee and illustrate the important aspeets of point group symmetry. 

This program is marketed as an exploratory tool for undergraduate organic chemistry students. As an educational tool, it is well designed. The program, as is, might also serve as a reminder of possible options for synthetic chemists. It could also be useful to the research community if more reactions are included in future versions. 

This book was designed to aid in research, rather than as a primary text on the subject. However, students may find some sections helpful. Advanced undergraduate students and graduate students will find the basic topics and applications useful. Beginners are advised to first become familiar with the use of computational chemistry software before delving into the advanced topics section. It may even be best to come back to this book when problems arise during computations. Some of the information in the advanced topics section is not expected to be needed until postgraduate work.

Training in each of these fields provides a unique perspective to the study of chemistry. Undergraduate chemistry courses and textbooks are more than a collection of facts they are a kind of apprenticeship. In keeping with this spirit, this text introduces the field of analytical chemistry and the unique perspectives that analytical chemists bring to the study of chemistry.

The words basic concepts" in the title define what I mean by fundamental." This is the primary emphasis in this presentation. Practical applications of polymers are cited frequently—after all, it is these applications that make polymers such an important class of chemicals—but in overall content, the stress is on fundamental principles. Foundational" might be another way to describe this. I have not attempted to cover all aspects of polymer science, but the topics that have been discussed lay the foundstion—built on the bedrock of organic and physical chemistry—from which virtually all aspects of the subject are developed. There is an enormous literature in polymer science this book is intended to bridge the gap between the typical undergraduate background in polymers—which frequently amounts to little more than occasional relevant" examples in other courses—and the professional literature on the subject. 

Modern Spectroscopy has been written to fulfil a need for an up-lo-dale lexl on speclroscopy. Il is aimed primarily al a lypical undergraduate audience in chemislry, chemical physics, or physics in Ihe United Kingdom and al undergraduate and graduate studenl audiences elsewhere. 

At the research level, spectroscopy continues to flourish and is continually developing with occasional quantum leaps. For example, such a leap resulted from the development of lasers. Not all leaps provide suitable material for inclusion in an undergraduate text such as this. Flowever, even in the relatively short period of seven years since the third edition, there have been either new developments or consolidation of rather less recent ones, which are not only of the greatest importance but which can (1 hope ) be communicated at this level.
