Abstract

This fourth volume of the series ""Progress in Physical Chemistry"" is a collection of mini-review articles written by those who were project leaders and members of the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 458 of the German Research Foundation (DFG). The articles are based on ten years of intense coordinated research and report particularly on the scientific progress made at SFB 458 since 2005. Their common theme is the study of ionic motion in disordered materials over wide scales in space and time. The mini reviews thus address key questions in the rapidly developing field of SOLID STATE IONI

Abstract

Since the first works introducing the aluminum intercalated clay family in the early 1970s, interest in the synthesis of pillared interlayered clays has increased tremendously, especially research into the properties and applications of new synthesis methods. The need for solids that could be used as cracking catalysts with larger pores than zeolitic materials has spurred the synthesis of new porous materials from clays. This book reviews the properties and applications of pillared clays and other layered materials used as catalysts, focusing on: - the acidity of pillared clays and the effect it has on catalytic performance - the use of pillared clays as supports for catalytically active phases, and the use of the resulting solids in environmentally friendly reactions - the comparison between the reactions of pillared clays and anionic clays.

Abstract

Polymeric Surfactants covers the structure and stability origins of these highly useful surfactants. Adsorption and solution properties in emulsions are discussed based on their underlying thermodynamics and kinetics. Research scientists and Ph.D. students investigating chemistry, chemical engineering and colloidal science will benefit from this text on polymeric surfactants and their value in preparation and stabilization of disperse systems.

Abstract

The phase behaviour of materials and their thermodynamic properties are a central subject in all fields of materials research. The first Volume of the work, meant for graduate students in chemistry, geology, physics, and metallurgy, and their engineering counterparts, is split up in three levels, such that from level to level the portion and importance of thermodynamics and mathematics are increased. In the ground level it is shown that the basic principles of phase equilibria can be understood without the use of thermodynamics – be it that the concept of chemical potential is introduced right from the beginning. The intermediate level is an introduction to thermodynamics; culminating in the Gibbs energy as the arbiter for equilibrium – demonstrated for systems where the phases in equilibrium are pure substances. In the third level the accent is on binary systems, where one or more phases are solutions of the components. Explicit relationships between the variables are derived for equilibria involving ideal mixtures and ideal dilute solutions. Non-ideal systems are treated from three different angles – geometrically, analytically, and numerically. Throughout the work high priority is given to the thermodynamic assessment of experimental data; numerous end-of-chapter exercises and their solutions are included. The work is useful for scientists as an introduction and a reference book. Audience: Students, teachers, and scientists in chemistry, chemical engineering, geology and geophysics, metallurgy, and related branches of materials science.

Abstract

Pierre Duhem (1861–1916) held the chair of theoretical physics at Bordeaux from 1894 to his death. He established a reputation in both the history and philosophy of science as well as in science itself (physics and physical chemistry). Much of his work in the first two areas has been translated into English, but little of his technical scientific work. The present volume contains early work of Duhem’s illustrating his interest in the rigorous development of physical theory for which he is famous. It opens with what was the first critical discussion of Gibbs’ groundbreaking "On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances" (1876-8), where Duhem addressed the problem that, as he put it, "Mathematicians regret that the principles of Thermodynamics should have been developed in general with so little precision that the same proposition can be regarded by some as a consequence, and by others as a negation, of these principles". The other papers, forming a three-part series, pursue this project of putting the foundations of thermodynamics on a clearer and more secure basis. This book will be of interest to scholars in history and philosophy of science, especially those interested in the development of physical chemistry and the work of Pierre Duhem.

Abstract

Biomolecules in nature exhibit overwhelming one-handedness, often called homochirality, such as L-amino acids and D-sugars. Since the discovery of molecular chirality by Pasteur, the origins of chirality and the process le- ing to enantiopure biomolecules have attracted broad attention from many researchers. Several theories have been proposed for the origin of chirality in organic compounds, for example, left and right-circularly polarized light, sp- taneous absolute asymmetric synthesis, and chiral inorganic crystals such as quartz. However, the enantioenrichments induced by these mechanisms have been very low or even below detection levels. Thus, the process of ampli?cation of enantioenrichment is inevitable to reach enantiopure compounds. In 1953, Frank proposed a mechanism of asymmetric autocatalysis without mentioning any chemical structure. However, it then took over 40 years for us to discover asymmetric autocatalysis with ampli?cation of chirality in 1995. This book illustrates the recent aspects of ampli?cation of chirality by as- metric autocatalysis and by forming helical structures. The ?rst four chapters summarize experimental asymmetric autocatalysis with ampli?cation of en- tiopurity, the mechanism of asymmetric autocatalysis examined by NMR and calculation, the computer simulation models of the reaction mechanism of asymmetric autocatalysis, and the theoretical models of ampli?cation of c- rality. The last chapter deals with the ampli?cation of chirality by the f- mation of helical structures. However, the ampli?cation of enantiopurity in non-autocatalytic asymmetric reaction and the ampli?cation by enantiomer separation involving crystallization or sublimation are beyond the scope of this book.

Abstract

Discovering new medicines is becoming more challenging and the pharmaceutical industry is looking to new technologies to help in this mission. Structure-based drug discovery methods have been transformed in the last 5-10 years and are now having a major impact on the discovery of new drugs. Some of the most exciting developments in the field, such as Fragment-based methods, are described in this book. Structure-based drug discovery describes the latest developments in technologies that can be used to obtain the 3-D structures including the high profile structural genomics approaches being used worldwide. The use of 3-D protein structures in new, Fragment-based, approaches to drug discovery are described in some detail. This book includes experimental approaches using X-ray crystallography and NMR for Fragment-based screening as well as other biophysical methods for studying protein/ligand interactions. In addition, developments in computational chemistry methodology are covered together with an assessment of practical applications. This book is an invaluable resource for medicinal chemists in industry, computational chemists, drug discovery scientists and postgraduates in chemistry or structural biology.
