Description
This monograph presents a view of organic structure and conformational analysis. It describes the importance of molecular organization in organic chemical and biological systems, the quantum foundations of molecular spatial structure, molecular symmetry, chiralty and physical methods for studying molecular geometry. The author aims to provide bases for the new trends in organic conformational chemistry, including the applications of Computer-Assisted Molecular Design (CAMD) to organic synthesis. This book is intended for organic and medicinal chemists, graduate students and materials scientists.
