Advances in Chemistry Research: Volume 5

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.
