In chemistry, good problem-solving requires a balanced combination of scientific intuition and
methodical analysis. Additionally, thoughtfully presented diagrams and infographics can convey
a large amount of complex information in a more intuitive and accessible manner. 100 Must-Know
Mechanisms (Second Edition) strives to be at the intersection of these two key principles. Its
thorough visualizations enable experienced readers to use it as a quick reference for specific
mechanisms of interest. At the same time, the book's breadth of covered reactions, from classic to
cutting-edge, make it a good study-aid for the developing chemist. A slow and consistent study of
the entire series of mechanisms can help set the foundation for good scientific intuition, while its
detailed infographics and careful navigation features encourage coming back to it frequently. This
edition includes over 40 new illustrations, numerous new mechanistic schemes, enhanced original
figures with a variety of real-case examples, and more
