Materials Under Extreme ConditionsMolecular Crystals at High Pressureby Roberto Bini & Vincenzo Schettino (University of Florence, Italy)

High-pressure materials research has been revolutionized in the past few years due to technological breakthroughs in the diamond anvil cell (DAC), shock wave compression and molecular dynamic simulation (MD) methods. The application of high pressure, especially together with high temperature, has revealed exciting modifications of physical and chemical properties even in the simplest molecular materials.

New materials possessing peculiar characteristics of hardness and composition have been synthesized at very high pressure, while unexpected chemical reactions of simple molecules to polymers and amorphous compounds have been found at milder conditions.

The variety of the phenomena observed in these extreme conditions and of the materials involved provides a common ground bridging scientific communities with different cultural and experimental backgrounds. This monograph will provide a timely opportunity to report on recent progress in the field.

Readership: Academics, postgraduates and researchers in analytical chemistry, condensed matter physics and physical chemistry.

:: Bestselling Textbook Solving the Schrödinger EquationHas Everything Been Tried?edited by Paul Popelier (University of Manchester, UK)

The Schrödinger equation is the master equation of quantum chemistry. The founders of quantum mechanics realised how this equation underpins essentially the whole of chemistry. However, they recognised that its exact application was much too complicated to be solvable at the time. More than two generations of researchers were left to work out how to achieve this ambitious goal for molecular systems of ever-increasing size. This book focuses on non-mainstream methods to solve the molecular electronic Schrödinger equation. Each method is based on a set of core ideas and this volume aims to explain these ideas clearly so that they become more accessible.

Readership: Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and academics in the fields of computational chemistry, theoretical chemistry, super computing, molecular physics and solid state physics.

Information, Entropy, Life and the UniverseWhat We Know and What We Do Not Knowby Arieh Ben-Naim (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel)

The aim of this book is to explain in simple language what we know and what we do not know about information and entropy — two of the most frequently discussed topics in recent literature — and whether they are relevant to life and the entire universe.

Entropy is commonly interpreted as a measure of disorder. This interpretation has caused a great amount of “disorder” in the literature. One of the aims of this book is to put some “order” in this “disorder”.

The book explains with minimum amount of mathematics what information theory is and how it is related to thermodynamic entropy. Then it critically examines the application of these concepts to the question of “What is life?” and whether or not they can be applied to the entire universe.

Readership: Interested lay public in information theory, thermodynamics, biology and cosmology.

Entropy and the Second LawInterpretation and Misss-Interpretationsssby Arieh Ben-Naim (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel)

“Ben-Naim does a thorough job in making the SMI a familiar and intuitive quantity. He presents his case in a very readable examination of entropy’s multifaceted nature.”

Chemistry World

This book presents a clear and readable description of one of the most mysterious concepts of physics: Entropy. It contains a self-learning kit that guides the reader in understanding the concepts of entropy. In the first part, the reader is asked to play the familiar twenty-Question game. Once the reader feels comfortable with playing this game and acquires proficiency in playing the game effectively (intelligently), he or she will be able to capture the elusive and used-to-be mysterious concept of entropy.

There will be no more speculative or arbitrary interpretations, nor “older” or “modern” views of entropy. This book will guide readers in choosing their own interpretation of entropy.

Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry and physics, academics and lay persons.

Electron Dynamics in Molecular InteractionsPrinciples and Applicationsby Frank Hagelberg (East Tennessee State University, USA)

This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of electronic motion in molecular processes — an increasingly relevant and rapidly expanding segment of molecular quantum dynamics. Emphasis is placed on describing and interpreting transitions between electronic states in molecules as they occur typically in cases of reactive scattering between molecules, photoexcitation or nonadiabatic coupling between electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom.

Electron Dynamics in Molecular Interactions aims at a synoptic presentation of some very recent theoretical efforts to solve the electronic problem in quantum molecular dynamics, contrasting them with more traditional schemes. The presented models are derived from their roots in basic quantum theory, their interrelations are discussed, and their characteristic applications to concrete chemical systems are outlined. This volume also includes an assessment of the present status of electron dynamics and a report on novel developments to meet the current challenges in the field.

Readership: Graduate students and researchers in physical chemistry and computational physics; industrial chemists and physicists interested in the field.

Hydrogen Bonded CapsulesMolecular Behavior in Small Spacesby Julius Rebek, Jr. (Fudan University, China & The Scripps Research Institute, USA)

This monograph describes the behavior of molecules confined to small spaces. The small spaces are created by the self-assembly of modules into hollow capsular structures through hydrogen bonding; capsules assembled by metal/ligand binding or other forces are not included. Topics discussed include how assembly of capsules occurs, how molecules get in and out of the capsules, new spatial arrangements (stereochemistry) created in the capsules, and the altered shapes, interactions and reactivities of molecules held inside the small spaces. The descriptions emphasize molecular recognition phenomena and the perspective is that of physical organic chemistry.

The book is the first monograph to treat reversible molecular encapsulation. More than 20 university and institute groups worldwide engage in this research, which represents the leading edge of activity in molecular recognition and the physical organic chemistry of confined molecules.

Readership: Graduate students and researchers in physical organic chemistry, nanotechnology and nanoscience and materials science.

Journal of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry

http://www.worldscientific.com/jtcc

Aims & ScopeThe J ou rna l o f Theore t i ca l and Computational Chemistry (JTCC) is an international interdisciplinary journal, aimed at providing comprehensive coverage on the latest developments of research in the ever-expanding area of theoretical and computational chemistry and their applications to broad scientific fields spanning physics, chemistry, biology, materials, and so on.

With the proliferation of sub-fields in the application of theoretical chemistry and the explosion of applications in various scientific fields, it is difficult these days for us to keep up with all the new research developments in these cross-disciplinary fields. We hope this journal will serve as a major single source of information on the latest research that can be broadly defined to be in the general area of theoretical and computational chemistry.

The journal publishes original contributions on broad aspects: from both the development of fundamental theoretical methodology and computational algorithm to extensive numerical applications to specific scientific problems ranging from gas-phase to condensed phase, and to biological systems. It covers general research areas broadly defined as quantum chemistry, chemical dynamics, statistical mechanics, and chemical biology.
