Chemical kinetics and mechanism

Chemical Kinetics and Mechanism considers the role of rate of reaction, Chemical Kinetics and Mechanism considers the role of rate of reaction. It begins by introducing chemical kinetics and the analysis of reaction mechanism, from basic well-established concepts to leading edge research. Organic re...
