Physical chemistry textbook now free to download as a ‘gift’ to the community

University of Oxford chemist Peter Atkins has made the digital version of his book Concepts in Physical Chemistry free to download .

Source: © Jeff Morgan/Alamy Stock Photo

Peter Atkins says his decision to make his textbook free, in collaboration with the RSC, came from another chemist who gave away one of his textbooks

The retired Oxford professor said he had opted to give the e-book away – as part of a special collaboration with the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) – as a ‘gift and a thanks to the community’ who have given his other books a ‘loyal following’ over the years. ‘On reflection, I can also see that this is a way of reaching out to people who simply can’t afford the big book,’ he said, which sells for £75 in hardback.

Atkins, who has written more than 70 books, said he was inspired after fellow author John McMurry adopted a similar approach with his Organic Chemistry book . He is perhaps best known as an author for his textbook Physical Chemistry , which is now in its 12th edition after the first was released in 1978.

Andy Redman, head of books at the RSC, said that, throughout his career, Atkins had worked to improve both the study of chemistry and the public understanding of the chemical sciences.

‘In keeping with those goals, Peter has produced a full revision of Concepts in Physical Chemistry , a distinctive vade mecum which provides a succinct description for a selection of over 500 key concepts, set out in alphabetical order for ease of access,’ Redman said.

‘In partnership with the RSC, Concepts in Physical Chemistry is being made freely accessible in digital form, as well as being available in a print edition to provide the next generation of chemists and the chemical community at large with an invaluable resource.’

Chemistry articles from across Nature Portfolio

Chemistry is a branch of science that involves the study of the composition, structure and properties of matter. Often known as the central science, it is a creative discipline chiefly concerned with atomic and molecular structure and its change, for instance through chemical reactions.

Palladium(0) complexes stabilized by anionic aluminium ligands

Palladium can be stabilized in the zero-oxidation state with one, two or three anionic aluminium ligands to produce mono-, di- or trianionic complexes, respectively. The palladium centres in the resulting complexes are highly negatively charged, and this electron richness enables the trianionic complex to undergo a hitherto hypothetical oxidative addition reaction with a diboron species.

Metal-free catalysts for hydrogenation

Ethylene feedstocks must be ultrapure for plastics production, but metal-based catalysts used for acetylene removal are limited by cost, scarcity and durability. Now, electrochemical studies demonstrate that 2-thiolimidazole exceeds the efficiency of traditional metal-based catalysts with remarkable selectivity and conversion rates.

State-of-the-art plastic deconstruction technologies typically require noble metals, consume hydrogen gas, and generate waste methane. Now it has been shown that earth-abundant layered self-pillared zeolite catalysts selectively convert polyethylene to high-octane products without requiring molecular hydrogen.

Redox dynamics and surface structures of an active palladium catalyst during methane oxidation

Palladium-based catalysts are highly effective for the complete oxidation of methane. Here, the authors employ operando transmission electron microscopy, near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations to investigate the active state and catalytic function of Pd nanoparticles in methane oxidation.

Insight into selectivity of photocatalytic methane oxidation to formaldehyde on tungsten trioxide

Tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ) is considered the most promising photocatalyst for the highly selective oxidation of methane to formaldehyde, though the origins of its catalytic activity and reaction mechanism are still debated. Here, the authors use WO 3 with {001} and {110} facets as model photocatalysts, demonstrating that the photocatalytic oxidation of methane to formaldehyde in WO 3 depends on the surface structure, leading to different formaldehyde selectivity.
