Editorial Reviews

Review
`The subject is presented authoritatively, systematically and concisely without resort to mathematical treatment. As this subject is often given little coverage in textbooks or organic chemistry this text is to be welcomed.' Aslib Book Guide, vol.61, no.11, November 1996

`This book is a useful introduction to stereo-electronic effects in organic chemistry. The style is engaging ... this book is an excellent supplementary text for undergraduates. Sponsorship for the series by Zeneca also ensures that it is extremely good value for money.' Chemistry in Britain, September 1997

`engaging critique of biography .... enjoyable and thought provoking' New Scientist

Product Description
Stereoelectronic effects control the way molecules are put together and account for the "rules of engagement" which operate when molecules meet and react. Understanding these effects is the key to understanding molecular behavior, since the same basic three-dimensional interactions are responsible for both structure and reactivity. This concise and very accessible volume provides a comprehensive, intentionally non-mathematical coverage of stereochemistry, along with an in-depth discussion of the main classes of organic reactions, promoting a logical and simple way of thinking about chemistry.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good intro text, June 1, 2001
By Kevin L. Greenman (Burlingame, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Kirby's Stereoelectronic effects provides a good introduction to the fundamentals of molecular orbital interactions. Makes a nice supplement to advanced organic chemistry texts that are deficient in this area

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for new grad students, October 8, 2008
By RAD (USA) - See all my reviews
If you are an organic synthesis student, then this is for you. It has enough information to get the point across and to introduce you to the ideas of HOMO-LUMO, while at the same time not overload you with excruciating details.
