Advances in Chemistry Research : Volume 23

This new book presents original research results on the leading edge of chemistry research. Each article has been carefully selected in an attempt to present substantial research results across a broad spectrum. Topics discussed include a systematic ab-initio study of electronic and vibrational properties of beryllium-vi polymorphs and their corresponding ground state and excited states using maximally-localized wannier functions; advances in spectroscopic investigations of riboflavin in aqueous solutions and milk; preservative and antitoxigenic activities of phenolic compounds; viscoelastic properties and structure of abs polymers; the study of anticoagulant properties of leucine and combined activities of its complexes with high -- molecular -- weight heparin; dyes in water; organometallic nanostructures; and experimental measurement and thermodynamic modelling.
