Physics of Chemical Structures
This booklet, in the Unilever Advanced Series was first published in 1962. It gives a concise account of the theory of analytical methods used by Unilever at the time in the research carried out to develop and test chemical products made by the company.
One of the aims of the booklet was to show the relevance of physics to the principles underlying the analytical methods used to determine chemical structures.
