Water: From Hydrogen Bonding to Dynamics and Structure

by Ralf Ludwig (Editor)

Covering the scope of current water research from the physical chemistry viewpoint, this long-awaited book focuses on the structure, dynamics and properties of water and solutions. The authors are chosen in such a way that teams treat each topic from both the experimental and theoretical perspective, resulting in a quantitative understanding of the so-called "anomalies" of the pure liquid. Recent experimental approaches, computer simulations and theories provide new insight into the origins of these features as well as explanations on a molecular scale. With such topics as hydrogen bonding, proton transfer reactions, water thermodynamics, structures and dynamics in all phases, this is of great interest for chemists, physicists and biologists.
