An Introduction to the Physical Chemistry of FoodFamiliar combinations of ingredients and process-ing make the structures that give food its proper-ties. For example in ice cream, the emulsifiers and proteins stabilize partly crystalline milk fat as an emulsion, freezing (crystallization) of some of the water gives the product its hardness and polysac-charide stabilizers keep it smooth. Why different recipes work as they do is largely governed by the rules of physical chemistry. This textbook introduces the physical chemistry essential to understanding the behavior of foods. Starting with the simplest model of molecules attracting and repelling one another while being moved by the randomizing effect of heat, the laws of thermo-dynamics are used to derive important properties of foods such as flavor binding and water activity. Most foods contain multiple phases and the same molecular model is used to understand phase diagrams, phase separation and the properties of surfaces.

Features 7 Acts as a support for readings from the primary literature in an advanced (gradu-ate level) class 7 Great resource for any food scientist in understanding why food behaves as it does 7 Plethora of real-life examples highlights the application of physical chemistry in food science

Iron-Catalyzed Synthesis of Fused Aromatic Compounds via C–H Bond ActivationIron catalysts in organic synthesis are strongly in demand because iron is non-toxic, inexpensive, and the most abundant transition metal in the earth, although their use is still limited compared with that of rare, precious metals such as pal-ladium, ruthenium, and rhodium. This thesis de-scribes the first practical example of iron catalysis in the carbon–hydrogen bond activation reaction to synthesized fused aromatic ring compounds. By using a unique combination of iron catalyst and dichloride oxidant, various kind of naphthalene and phenanthrene derivatives were synthesized via annulation reaction with alkynes including direct C–H bond activation process.

Features 7 Nominated by The University of Tokyo as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis 7 Provides examples of C-H bond activation which has attracted atten-tion as an important chemical reaction in organic chemistry 7 Shows researchers how to develop a new reactivity of iron that is not only a simple alternative to rare metals

Inorganic Metal Oxide Nanocrystal Photocatalysts for Solar Fuel Generation from WaterTroy Townsend’s thesis explores the structure, en-ergetics and activity of three inorganic nanocrystal photocatalysts. The goal of this work is to investi-gate the potential of metal oxide nanocrystals for application in photocatalytic water splitting, which could one day provide us with clean hydrogen fuel derived from water and solar energy. Specifi-cally, Townsend’s work addresses the effects of co-catalyst addition to niobium oxide nanotubes for photocatalytic water reduction to hydrogen, and the first use of iron oxide ‘rust’ in nanocrystal suspensions for oxygen production. In addi-tion, Townsend studies a nickel/oxide-strontium titanate nanocomposite which can be described as one of only four nanoscale water splitting photo-catalysts. He also examines the charge transport for this system.

Development of New Catalytic Performance of Nanoporous Metals for Organic ReactionsIn this thesis, the focus is on the study of new catalytic properties of unsupported nanoporous metals in heterogeneous organic reactions under liquid-phase conditions. The author was the first to fabricate nanoporous copper with tunable nanoporosity and apply it for organic reactions. The catalyst can be reused up to ten times without loss of catalytic activity. In addition, the author de-veloped the highly selective semihydrogenation of alkynes using nanoporous gold as a catalyst for the first time, affording Z-alkenes in 100% selectivity, which cannot be realized by traditional catalysts.

Features 7 Nominated by Tohoku University as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis 7 Provides detailed descriptions of applications in heterogeneous organic reactions of nanoporous metals 7 Helps the reader understand more about nanoporous metals and opens up a new direction for heteroge-neous organic reactions
