Reviews of Reactive Intermediate Chemistry 

The chemistry of reactive intermediates is central to a modern
mechanistic and quantitative understanding of organic chemistry.
Moreover, it underlies a significant portion of modern synthetic
chemistry and is integral to a molecular view of biological
chemistry. Reviews in Reactive Intermediate Chemistry
presents an up-to-date, authoritative guide to this fundamental
topic. Although it follows Reactive Intermediate Chemistry by the
same authors, it serves as a free-standing resource for the entire
chemical and biochemical community.

The book includes:

* Relevant, practical applications

* Coverage of such topics as mass spectrometry methods, reactive
intermediates in interstellar medium, quantum mechanical
tunnelling, solvent effects, reactive intermediates in biochemical
processes, and excited state surfaces

* Discussions of emerging areas, particularly those involving
dynamics and theories

* Concluding sections identifying key directions for future
research are provided at the end of each chapter
