Elsevier Science & Technology Second Edition of Rodds Chemistry of Carbon Compounda Vol V Topical Volumes Organic Electrochemistry by Sainsbury
The explosion of information in organic chemistry has presented the chemist with the tedious exercise of searching chemical abstracts for details of a compound or reaction type. On-line searching has somewhat alleviated this but the task still remains of putting this information into perspective. "Rodd" aims to do this for the reader. The authors of each chapter have already sifted through abstracts, picked out the relevant references, and used their professional skills to present the contents in a concise and critical manner. Each volume in the series has a detailed index facilitating the rapid location of reaction types, synthetic procedures, or individual compounds. To date, the second edition of this series consists of 71 volumes and over 30,000 pages. Elsevier has recently published a cumulative index that covers all volumes, so the reader can easily access this valuable information. The series is continuing with a short series of topical volumes on emerging subjects that are not covered in the main volumes. The first two topical volumes will cover organic electrochemistry and asymmetric catalysis.show more
