Principles and Applications of Stereochemistry

This is the first book to cover the organic, inorganic and physical chemistry aspects of stereochemistry, for students studying chemistry and related chemical sciences such as biochemistry.The text explains how different properties arise as a result of alternative stereochemical arrangements, and discusses the implications for preparation and analysis of complex compounds.There are references for further reading at the end of each chapter and enhanced diagrams, answers to problems and an updated bibliography may be accessed via the book's website.
