Chemical Kinetics bridges the gap between beginner and specialist with a path that leads the reader from the phenomenological approach to the rates of chemical reactions to the state-of-the-art calculation of the rate constants of the most prevalent reactions: atom transfers, catalysis, proton transfers, substitution reactions, energy transfers and electron transfers. For the beginner
provides the basics: the simplest concepts, the fundamental
experiments, and the underlying theories. For the specialist shows where
sophisticated experimental and theoretical methods combine to offer a
panorama of time-dependent molecular phenomena connected by a new
rational. Chemical Kinetics goes far beyond the qualitative description:
with the guidance of theory, the path becomes a reaction path that can
actually be inspected and calculated. But Chemical Kinetics is more
about structure and reactivity than numbers and calculations. A great
emphasis in the clarity of the concepts is achieved by illustrating all
the theories and mechanisms with recent examples,
some of them described with sufficient detail and simplicity to be used
in general chemistry and lab courses. * Looking at atoms and molecules,
and how molecular structures change with time.
