Small-Scale Synthesis of Laboratory Reagents with Reaction Modeling

The in-lab preparation of some chemical reagents provides a number of advantages over purchasing commercially prepared samples. This volume contains a detailed description of methods for the rapid and reliable synthesis of many useful reagents that can be difficult to obtain. It provides spectroscopic analyses of products, presents the thermodynamic/kinetic data of reactions, and offers a thorough analysis of the purity of the final products. An additional feature is the mathematical modeling of reactions, some for the first time, with a comparison to the experiment. Enhanced by useful diagrams and photographs, this text is a valuable reference for researchers in small or remote laboratories.
