Stereoelectronic Effects illustrates the utility of stereoelectronic concepts using structure and reactivity of organic molecules

An advanced textbook that provides an up-to-date overview of the field, starting from the fundamental principles Presents a large selection of modern examples of stereoelectronic effects in organic reactivity Shows practical applications of stereoelectronic effects in asymmetric catalysis, photochemical processes, bioorganic chemistry and biochemistry, inorganic and organometallic reactivity, supramolecular chemistry and materials science

Author Biography

Professor Igor V. Alabugin, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Florida State University, USA
Over the last 12 years, Professor Alabugin has published a body of work dedicated to stereoelectronic effects and applied these concepts in practice to the development of new organic reactions. The wide appeal of these concepts is reflected in a large number citations for his papers on the topic (the top three papers have well over 600 citations). His expertise is in broadly defined computational and experimental organic chemistry and its applications to medicinal chemistry and materials science.
