CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 98th Edition

The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 98^th Edition is an update of a classic reference. The 98^th Edition contains several new features including, but not limited to – a major update to the table of isotopes, the first major compilation of high quality data of protein-ligand binding thermodynamics, and an important new collection of NMR data critical for understanding outcomes of organic syntheses. Plus, twelve lists have been updated such as, the physical properties of organic compounds and the latest experimental values of bond dissociation energies. Building on the new feature first introduced in the 94^th edition, four historical figures in science will be honored on the end plates.
