Reviews'A most impressive resource for researchers and teachers, and yet it also offers an accessible entrée into the topics for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates... well structured and very pleasant to read... a book I am very happy to have on my shelf.' - The Times Higher Education Supplement, "Anslyn and Dougherty have done an admirable and scholarly job to put the essence of this important subject between the covers of a single text. I can enthusiastically recommend the text for anyone who is teaching a course dealing with the essentials of physical organic chemistry and more." --Nicholas J. Turro, Columbia University "By building the text from the ground up, the authors have managed to incorporate modern applications of the theories of physical organic chemistry throughout, in a way that no revision of an existing text can hope to accomplish." --Thomas Poon, Claremont Colleges "Modern Physical Organic Chemistry is a most impressive resource for researchers and teachers, and yet it also offers an accessible entree into the topics for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. Each chapter ends with a Summary and Outlook, an excellent array of problems and exercises and a comprehensive bibliography that often refers to the review literature. This type of text is often not easily accessible to the undergraduate reader, but I found this one to be well structured and very pleasant to read. Modern Physical Organic Chemistry is a book I am very happy to have on my shelf." --The Times Higher, 2006 "MPOC is the most well rounded textbook on physical organic chemistry that I have seen. The authors are to be commended for their six year labor of love." --J. Chem. Ed, 2006, March, Vol. 83, No. 3, pg. 387 "Spectacular! Congratulations! I plan to recommend it to all of my research group members and to those students in my class who are getting hooked on organic chemistry. This is going to be a winner." --Peter Vollhardt, University of California at Berkeley "Students and others are emphatically recommended to read this excellent book. Anslyn & Dougherty should be in every chemical library. It will be a valuable aid to every student, but it can also be strongly recommended for all research chemists as a reference source on physical-organic chemistry. The book is a worthwhile investment." --Angewandte Chemie, 2006, 45, 1019-1020 "Students and others are emphatically recommended to read this excellent book. Anslyn & Dougherty should be in every chemical library. It will be a valuable aid to every student, but it can also be strongly recommended for all research chemists as a reference source on physical-organic chemistry. The book is a worthwhile investment." --Angewandte Chemie, 2006, 45, 1019-1020 "The text will certainly inspire those coming to physical organic chemistry as a first love, as well as those coming from a bordering discipline who wish to acquire the insight that physical organic chemistry can provide." --Barry Carpenter, Cornell University "This is a high quality book that fills a real need in our field, and that makes every other book in this area immediately obsolete. Congratulations to the authors on a remarkable achievement!" --David I. Schuster, New York University "This much needed text places physical organic chemistry in its most modern context as the foundation of not only organic chemistry, but as the basis for understanding the most current research in supramolecular chemistry, organic materials science, catalysis, and organometallics. This book is the new authoritative physical organic resource that will benefit researchers, students, and teachers alike." --Timothy M. Swager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

SynopsisIn additionto covering thoroughly the core areas of physical organic chemistry -structure and mechanism - this book will escortthe practitioner of organic chemistry into a field that has been thoroughlyupdated. his is the first modern textbook, written in the 21st century, to make explicit the many connections between physical organic chemistry and critical fields such as organometallic chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and biochemistry. In the latter part of the 20th century, the field of physical organic chemistry went through dramatic changes, with an increased emphasis on noncovalent interactions and their roles in molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry, and biology; the development of new materials with novel structural features; and the use of computational methods. Contemporary chemists must be just as familiar with these newer fields as with the more established classical topics.This completely new landmark text is intended to bridge that gap. In addition to covering thoroughly the core areas of physical organic chemistry - structure and mechanism - the book will escort the practitioner of organic chemistry into a field that has been thoroughly updated. The foundations and applicabilities of modern computational methods are also developed.Written by two distinguished researchers in this field, Modern Physical Organic Chemistry can serve as a text for a year-long course targeted to advanced undergraduates or first-year graduate students, as well as for a variety of shorter courses on selected aspects of the field. It will also serve as a landmark new reference text, and as an introduction to many of the more advanced topics of interest to modern researchers.Translated into Chinese, In additionto covering thoroughly the core areas of physical organic chemistry -structure and mechanism - this book will escortthe practitioner of organic chemistry into a field that has been thoroughlyupdated., This is the first modern textbook, written in the 21st century, to make explicit the many connections between physical organic chemistry and critical fields such as organometallic chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, and biochemistry.
