Here is a compilation of the research being done by scientists from various disciplines of chemistry at universities across the globe.This new volume provides a wealth of practical experience and research on new methodologies and important applications in chemical science.It also includes presentations on small-scale new drug design related projects that have potential applications in several disciplines of chemistry and in drug development.In this book, contributions range from new methods to novel applications of existing methods to enhance understanding of the material and/or structural behavior of new and advanced systems. Topics cover computational methods in chemical sciences and electrochemical investigations; studies of some of physico-chemical properties of several important novel macrocyclic ligands; the use of lanthanide-ions doped nanomaterials; quantitative estimation of heavy metals, a sustainable, efficient and green promoter for the synthesis of some heterocyclic compounds; and much more.
