Title: An introduction to free radicals
Description: Drawing from the vast literature available on free radicals, this book presents a helpful selection of fundamentally useful material. An Introduction to Free Radicals presents coverage of basic concepts, electron spin resonance, an overview of diradicals and triplet states, radical pairs, CIDNP and CIDEP, the small radicals, radical sources, selected alkyl radicals, conjugated carbon radicals, synthetic applications, electron transfer and related concepts.

An Introduction to Free Radicals will supply important information about free radicals and provide a firm foundation for more specialized study for organic chemists, physical chemists, biochemists, polymer chemists, synthetic chemists, and photochemists. Polymer chemists and pharmaceutical chemists will find a wealth of synthetic applications within this book. Environmental engineers will find the chapters on the small radicals and electron transfer and related concepts extremely useful.

That's because radical reactions are important in the degradation of both natural and man-made products. Numerous tables, diagrams, and selected references to the literature make this book an essential learning and reference tool
