The Dashiell Hammett Tour by Don Herron

The Dashiell Hammett Tour by Don Herron

This handbook presents structural data on free polyatomic molecules. Since the structure of molecules defines the chemical, physical and biological properties of matter, this information is crucial for understanding, explaining and predicting chemical reactions and biochemical processes, developing new drugs and materials as well as studying interstellar media.

Covering the structural data published between 2009 and 2017, this book supplements the previous Landolt-Börnstein volumes Structure Data of Free Polyatomic Molecules (eds. K. Kuchitsu, N. Vogt, M. Tanimoto), which included data from the literature published up to 2008. It systematizes and describes peculiarities of molecular structures for about 1000 compounds studied mainly by gas-phase electron diffraction and rotational spectroscopy. All structures are given in three-dimensional representations.
