Solutions Manual for Perspectives on Structure and Mechanism in Organic Chemistry

Felix A. Carroll, PhD is the Joseph R. Morton Professor of Chemistry Emeritus at Davidson College. His research focuses on organic photochemistry and photophysics, kinetics, the synthesis and characterization of insect pheromone analogues, the correlation of molecular structure with physical properties, the combustion characteristics of organic compounds, and chemical education. Dr. Carroll has published extensively in the peer-reviewed literature and was awarded a patent in the field of insect pheromones.
