Reactive Free Radicals

by Hay, J.M.

New York: Academic Press, (1974).

First edition.

A good book on the structure-activity relationship of organic free radicals by British scientist John McKay Hay (1881-1968). Dr. Hay presents the idea that the structure (which defines the shape) of a free radical varies dynamically with its energy content, and in so doing determines its reactivity with other substances. He supports this by describing subtleties of bond dissociation energies, along with both the polar and non-polar effects in the formation and reactivity of radicals in general. Nicely illustrated with lots of diagrams and charts (see photos 6 to 9).

Free radicals are atoms, molecules or ions that have unpaired valence electrons, making them highly chemically reactive. They are very useful in polymer and plasma chemistry, combustion and biochemistry. However, an excess of them is undesirable in the human body because they degrade cells and metabolism; and antioxidants (like blueberries and vitamins C and E) can help to diminish or neutralize their destructive actions.

Deep red cloth boards with gilt-stamped titles to spine and blind-stamped publisher's mark on front. Dust jacket is red on white. Illustrated with charts and diagrams. Quarto: size is 6-1/8" by 9-1/4".
