Strained Organic Molecules (Organic Chemistry)

A remarkable monograph illustrating the broad range of studies on strained molecules, it describes experimental elucidation of structures of substituted cyclopropanes, cyclopropenes, cyclobutanes and bicyclobutanes. It also discusses the sudde disconstinuities observed in exceedingly-crowded molecules.
This special issue of 'Structural Chemistry' also includes information on measures of pyramidalization, distorted amide (lactam) linkages and the role of resonance, synthesis and synthetic applications relating to cyclopropenes, cycloproparenes and cyclobutanones. Strained Organic Molecules also considers substituent effects on cubanes and azacubanes- potential explosives.
