Strained Organic Molecules - Organic Chemistry Author:Arthur Greenberg, Joel F. Liebman Intended for organic, structural and graduate chemists, this book illustrates the broad range of studies on strained molecules. Topics discussed include the experimental elucidation of structure of substituted cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, cyclobutanes and bicyclobutanes and the sudden discontinuities observed in exceedingly crowded molecules.

It also considers the substituent effects on cubanes and azacubanes-potentiasives.« less
