Topics in Stereochemistry, Volume 25

Topics in Stereochemistry, previously edited by "the father of stereochemistry" Ernest L. Eliel, is a longstanding, successful series covering the most important advances in the field. The much-anticipated Volume 25 includes chapters on the following topics: * Stereochemistry of Molecules in Inclusion Crystals * Torsional Motion of Stilbene-type Molecules in Crystals * Supramolecular Networks of Porphyrins * Homo- and Heterochirality in Crystals * Supramolecular Synthesis of 1D Chains and 2D Layers in Hydrogen Bond Networks of Ureas and 2-D Pyrimidinones * Chiral Auxiliaries Powerful for Both Enantioresolution and Determination of Absolutely Stereochemistry by X-Ray Crystallograph * Engineering Stereospecific Reactoins in Crystals: Synthesis of Compounds with Adjacent Stereogenic Quaternary Centers by Photodecarbonylation of Crystalline Ketones * The CH/ Hydrogen Bond: An Important Molecular Force in Controlling the Crystal Conformation of Organic Compounds and Three-Dimensional Structure of Biopolymers * Stereoselective Thermal Solid-State Reactions * Crystal Structures and Functionalities of Platinum (II) Complexes Controlled by Various Intermolecular InteractionsContent: Chapter 1 Stereochemistry of Molecules in Inclusion Crystals (pages 1–29): Fumio TodaChapter 2 Torsional Motion of Stilbene?type Molecules in Crystals (pages 31–47): Jun Harada and Keiichiro OgawaChapter 3 Supramolecular Networks of Porphyrins (pages 49–80): Israel GoldbergChapter 4 Homo? and Heterochirality in Crystals (pages 81–134): Pavel A.
