The Electron Capture Detector And The Study Of Reactions With Thermal Electrons

E.C.M. Chen (emeritus, department of natural and applied sciences, U. of Houston) and E.S. Chen, formerly of the Center for Research on Parallel Computation at Rice University, review techniques for studying the reactions of thermal electrons with molecules using electron capture detector (ECD) technology. They review electron affinities and thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of atoms, small molecules, and large organic molecules obtained using various techniques, and describe ECD applications in analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. With coverage ranging from definitions to experimental procedures and modern applications, this book will be of interest to professionals and graduate students in analytical, physical, and environmental chemistry.
