Characterization of compounds in solution

by William H Streng

"Historically, the behavior of compounds in solution has been important in several disciplines - for example, oceanography, chromatography, and pharmacology. This book is unique in providing both a rigorous theoretical basis for and a plethora of examples of the studies used to characterize the chemical properties of compounds in solution.". "As more and more knowledge about the biochemical action of disease has become known, pharmaceutical companies increasingly need to predict quickly and accurately whether a given compound is a candidate for use as a therapeutic drug. It is here that this volume will make a large contribution." "Areas covered include equilibrium constants, partition constants, general solubility, solubility in protic solvents, and solution stability.". "Researchers and professionals in pharmaceutical chemistry, thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, and applied physical chemistry will all find Characterization of Compounds in Solution a valuable resource.
