Although there are a vast numbers of reactions known, these may be grouped into a small number of mechanistic classes, then into a still smaller set of classes of stereoelectronic interaction. An understanding of these effects will help the student develop a 'feel' for the nature of molecules and their capabilities, which is especially useful when considering reactivity. Stereoelectronic effects - interactions between electronic orbitals in three dimensions - control the way that molecules are put together and the 'rules of engagement' which operate when they meet and react. All the basic principles and facts in a particular area are presented in a clear and straightforward style, to produce concise yet comprehensive accounts of topics covered in both core and specialist courses. Written with the needs of the student in mind, the Oxford Chemistry Primers offer just the right level of detail for undergraduate study, and will be invaluable as a source of material commonly presented in lecture courses yet not adequately covered in existing texts. This series of short texts provides accessible accounts of a range of essential topics in chemistry.
