And Other Curious Tales from Chemistry

The Last Alchemist in Paris

Este es un libro sobre el descubrimiento y el desastre, la guerra y la ciencia - y la relación entre los seres humanos y los elementos químicos que componen nuestro planeta. Lars Öhrström nos acerca a una gran variedad de elementos, del azufre al plomo, a través de historias de personas ordinarias y extraordinarias de todo el mundo. Nos enteraremos de por qué el dirigible Hindenburg fue trágicamente llenado de hidrógeno en lugar de helio o qué quitaesmalte de uñas jugó un papel clave en la primera guerra mundial. En cada capítulo, nos conoceremos las propiedades específicas de cada elemento y de los conceptos y principios que han permitido a los científicos darles un uso práctico. Estas son las fascinantes (y a veces terroríficas) historias de la química en acción.

Some 80,000 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been reported as of 2020. With intriguing structures and fascinating properties, MOFs are poised to be a defining material of the 21st century with a great deal of commercial potential from methane fuel automobile tanks to carbon capturing. Metal-Organic Frameworks provides an introduction to the complex world of MOFs. Researchers new to MOFs can use this work as a jumping-off point for theoretical study or applied research. The work is broad and expansive in scope, but inclusive and comprehensive in detail. The authors provide a personal perspective of MOF research that provides a strong foundation in the basic methods and themes as well as directs the reader in how to think about MOFs. Sixteen MOF structures are animated, providing more clarity into the dimensionality of MOFs. Accompanying links take the reader to additional 3-D structures provided by The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC).

Le tableau périodique des éléments, initialement établi pour 63 éléments par Mendeleiev en 1869, est un monstre sacré pour le chimiste et une souffrance pour l’étudiant moyen. Ce monstre qui contient 118 éléments dans sa forme standard à la fin 2015 est apprivoisé par l’auteur en reliant des éléments choisis à des événem...

Le dernier Alchimiste à Paris

Jacques Covès

Pink warships that vanish at dusk, urinary maladies of an emperor, and a gold test for cocaine - behold the chemistry of metal ions as never before. In this book you will learn about the sarcophagus molecule, the Chen-Kao test, and how murderers can be caught blue-handed with the wonders of glowing luminol. You will also meet the hidden chemistry of metal ions in everyday life, from the clever modern devices that measure blood-sugar levels, to the leather on your shoes and chewing gum stuck to their soles. Expect to encounter a fair share of heroes and villains, real and fictional, scientist and layperson. Such characters include an ex-MI5 employee running a hospital ward in London amid falling German V1 rockets, a notorious racing cyclist, a proud butler and the lady who first proposed nuclear fission (it's not who you think it is). With engaging, humorous and intelligent prose, the reader will discover the fascinating back-stories of chemical discoveries and inventions where metal ions have played a major role. Featuring a foreword by popular science communicator Dr Raychelle Burks of St. Edward's University, Texas.
