The Selected Papers of William N. Lipscomb, Jr
REPRINT VOLUME
William N. Lipscomb--Autobiography
The Nobel Foundation presents autobiographical information on American chemist William N. Lipscomb (1919- ). Lipscomb received the 1976 Nobel prize in chemistry for his work on the structure of boranes illuminating problems of chemical bonding. The foundation highlights his career, his education, and his work.
Boron Hydrides
In this classic monograph, Nobel Prize–winning chemist William N. Lipscomb elucidates his area of expertise: the general structural principles and reactions of boron hydrides and related compounds. Lipscomb's work appeared only a decade after the structures of boron hydrides were first elucidated and their chemistry formulated into a widely applicable framework. His observations led to a major reconsideration of how atoms bond to form stable molecules. A concise treatment of the many separate parts of the structural theory and its relation to chemistry, this volume begins with an overview of boron hydrides and related structures, progressing to three-center bonds and their applications, molecular orbitals, nuclear magnetic resonance studies of boron hydrides and related compounds, and reactions of the boron hydrides. More than 120 diagrams and figures illustrate a variety of structures.
Boron Hydride Chemistry
Boron Hydride Chemistry covers the significant contributions of boron hydride research in the subjects of bonding, structure, and stereochemistry. This book contains 12 chapters that illustrate the merging of certain areas of boron hydride chemistry with other disciplines, such as organic, organometallic, and transition metal chemistry. After providing an overview of the general geometric, stereochemical, and dynamic stereochemical features of boron hydrides, this book goes on exploring the bonding theory and theoretical research on boron hydrides, with an emphasis on boron hydrides that have open polyhedral structures. These topics are followed by discussions on gas phase and solution reactions of borane and substituted boranes. A chapter focuses on the chemistry of cations containing boron atoms bonded to hydrogen. The remaining chapters examine the syntheses, structures, bonding, spectral properties, and chemistry of specific boron hydrides, including borazines, closo-boron hydrides, carboranes, icosahedral carboranes, and close- and nido-heteroboranes. Inorganic chemists and researchers, teachers, and undergraduate inorganic chemistry students will find this book invaluable.
Boron
This multi-author edited volume reviews the recent developments in boron chemistry, with a particular emphasis on the contribution of computational chemistry. The contributors come from Europe, the USA and Asia. About 60% of the book concentrates on theoretical and computational themes whilst 40% is on topics of interest to experimental chemists. Specific themes covered include structure, topology, modelling and prediction, the role of boron clusters in synthetic chemistry and catalysis, as medical agents when acting as inhibitors of HIV protease and carbonic anhydrases.
Structures and Mechanisms
This volume encompasses a wide range of chemistry, with juxtaposition of, for example, boron hydrides, quantum mechanical calculations, and structure of a virus, providing a perspective on chemistry not offered by traditional texts. The breadth of this book will be stimulating and cause readers to think a little beyond the usual confines of a particular research field. The book begins with an autobiographical reflection by Lipscomb and includes an introduction to the science of William N. Lipscomb. This volume encompasses a wide range of chemistry, with a juxtaposition of, for example, boron hydrides, quantum mechanical calculations, and structure of a virus, providing a perspective on chemistry not offered by traditional texts. The volume includes chapters on polyhedral boranes, oscillations, waves, and patterns in chemistry and biology, interference of atom lasers, chemical theory of bonding and NMR parameters, NMR and EPR of proteins, biological energy transduction, protein-ligand interactions, and relation of structures to the central dogma of biology, and concludes with comments on the relation of the retrovirus core to the function of this molecular machine.
