Taylor & Francis Inc

Bringing literature on the subject up to date, renowned researchers from 13 countries examine recent findings, applications, and on-going research while discussing practical developments and well extablished topics. The book covers current principles, methods, and a broad range of applications of isotope effects in the physical, biological, and environmental sciences. It covers fundamentals including the Bigeleisen-Mayer theory and small molecule studies. Topics also include atmospheric, geologic, and extraterrestrial studies; isotope effects in chemical dynamics; hydrogen isotope effects; water isotope effects under pressure; and effects in organic, organometallic, complex enzyme reactions. > The field of isotope effects has expanded exponentially in the last decade, and researchers are finding isotopes increasingly useful in their studies.
