Solvents and Solvent Effects in Organic Chemistry - Hardcover

"I believe it is well worth the time of every organic chemist to read this book and learn how solvents influence the myriad phenomena of organic chemistry. It is also a superb reference book, one that you will use often, with the largest bibliography on solvents and solvent effects that I have ever seen... Every practicing organic chemist should either own a copy or have easy access to one." (Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 82, No. 3, March 2005) "Anyone who needs to know anything about solvents and solvent effects in organic chemistry must read this book... What I like about the book is the information on how change of solvent affects position of equilibria and rate of reaction for specific reactions or types of reactions... In conclusion, there is no other book which covers the subject in so much depth and the volume should be an essential part of every organic chemist-s library." (Organic Process Research & Development) "Because reactions in chemical and biochemical laboratories are mostly performed in solution, this book is highly recommended to all chemists or biochemists involved in teaching or research." (Journal of the American Chemistry Society, Volume 126, No. 14, 2004) "The book can be useful to specialists in the field of pure and applied chemistry and to students, both graduate and undergraduate, and to anyone studying solutions." (Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry, February 2004)

In most cases, every chemist must deal with solvent effects, whether voluntarily or otherwise. Since its publication, this has been the standard reference on all topics related to solvents and solvent effects in organic chemistry. Christian Reichardt provides reliable information on the subject, allowing chemists to understand and effectively use these phenomena. It is 3rd updated and enlarged edition of a classic and contains 35 per cent more contents. Its excellent, proven concept includes current developments, such as ionic liquids indispensable in research and industry. From the reviews of the second edition: "...This is an immensely useful book, and the source that I would turn to first when seeking virtually any information about solvent effects." - "Organometallics".
