Reactivity of Molecular Solids, Volume 3

Reporting on advances in the field of molecular solid statechemistry, each volume focuses on selected areas and highlightsmethods and results in syntheses, properties and applications. Thevolumes in this series provide a forum for the discussion ofchemical, physical, biological and crystallographic aspects of themolecular solid state. Eight chapters focus on the theoretical aspects of the reactivityof solids and the applications that are of practical importance. Ina collection of reviews that highlight hot topics in the field ofmolecular solids, the authors of this volume emphasise the problemsfacing them. Contents: * Interplay between Intra- and Intermolecular Interactions inSolid-State Reactions * Cooperative Effects in Solid State Reactions * Some Aspects of Bimolecular Photoreactions in Crystals * Kinetics and Spatial Propagation of Intramolecular Reactions inSolids * Kinetic Descriptions of the Simplest Bimolecular Reactions inOrganic Solids * Radical Solid-State Reactions at High Pressure * Polymorphs and Solvates of Molecular Solids in the PharmaceuticalIndustry * Mechanochemical Synthesis and Mechanical Activation ofDrugs. Reactivity of Molecular Solids will be of interest to all chemistsworking in the pharmaceutical, fine chemicals and food industries,and also in molecular electronics and materials science.
