Advances in Chemistry Research

This 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. Some of the topics included in this compilation are the physico-chemical properties and biological activities of copper; the possible applications of layered-perovskite-like oxides; mechanisms of covalent bond heterolysis and the runaway reaction of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide.
