Orbital Symmetry and Reaction Mechanism: The Ocams View

By E. Amitai Halevi and Vilmos Komornik

Modern mechanistic thinking in organic chemistry is still influenced by the publication of Woodward and Hoffmann "Conservation of orbital symmetry" in 1965. The author explains the foundation of these rules coherently. He outlines the scope and limitations of the model with respect to recent experimental research. The book is written for students in chemistry.
