Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions, Student Edition
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Nov 2009, Pages: 376
Molecular orbital theory is used by chemists to describe the arrangement of electrons in chemical structures. It is also a theory capable of giving some insight into the forces involved in the making and breaking of chemical bonds—the chemical reactions that are often the focus of an organic chemist’s interest. Organic chemists with a serious interest in understanding and explaining their work usually express their ideas in molecular orbital terms, so much so that it is now an essential component of every organic chemist’s skills to have some acquaintance with molecular orbital theory.

Organic chemists with a serious interest in understanding and explaining their work usually express their ideas in molecular orbital terms, so much so that it is now an essential component of every organic chemists skills to have some acquaintance with molecular orbital theory. Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions is both a simplified account of molecular orbital theory and a review of its applications in organic chemistry; it provides a basic introduction to the subject and a wealth of illustrative examples. In this book molecular orbital theory is presented in a much simplified, and entirely non-mathematical language, accessible to every organic chemist, whether student or research worker, whether mathematically competent or not.

In this book molecular orbital theory is presented in a much simplified, and entirely non-mathematical language, accessible to every organic chemist, whether student or research worker, whether mathematically competent or not. Topics covered include:
- Molecular Orbital Theory
- Molecular Orbitals and the Structures of Organic Molecules
- Chemical Reactions — How Far and How Fast
- Ionic Reactions — Reactivity
- Ionic Reactions — Stereochemistry
- Pericyclic Reactions
- Radical Reactions
- Photochemical Reactions
Molecular Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions: Student Edition is an invaluable first textbook on this important subject for students of organic, physical organic and computational chemistry
Features:
- Provides a first course in this important topic
- Extends the “frontier orbital” approximation of Fleming’s classic “Frontier Orbitals” to encompass the wider field of molecular orbitals.
- Fully updated with a wealth of recent illustrative examples
- Includes key references and suggested further reading for students to find out more
- A greater emphasis is put on chemistry than on quantum mechanics, and the intelligent use of the rules rather than their mathematical derivation.
