Organic chemistry is the chemistry of compounds of carbon.
ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Pre.
Patrick also discusses techniques used in the field.
He looks at how new materials, in particular the single layer form of carbon called graphene, are opening up exciting new possibilities for applications, and discusses the particular challenges of working with carbon compounds, many of which are colorless.
Beginning with the structures and properties of the basic groups of Organic compounds, he goes on to consider Organic compounds in the areas of pharmaceuticals, polymers, food and drink, petrochemicals, and nanotechnology.
In this Very Short Introduction Graham Patrick covers the whole range of Organic compounds and their roles.
These compounds are central to life, forming the basis for Organic molecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
The ability of carbon to link together to form long chain molecules and ring compounds as well as bonding with many other elements has led to a vast array of Organic compounds.
