The role of the solvent in chemical reactions

The book discusses the role of solvents in chemical reactions, covering thermodynamic and kinetic foundations. It examines the solvent as a passive medium and as an active participant through hydrogen bonding, acid-base interactions, and redox processes. Includes chapters on chemometrics, theoretical calculation methods, and the suitability of solvent classes (aprotic, acidic, basic, ionic liquids, chiral) for various applications. Suitable for senior undergraduates and postgraduate students.
