Chemogenesis: The Literature References
This page gives the literature references and suggested background reading to the material covered in the chemogenesis web book.

The Top Ten Literature References

  • Ian Fleming, Frontier Orbitals and Organic Chemical Reactions, J.Wiley & Sons (1976).

A 250 page soft-back book which reviewed the emerging FMO ideas by setting them in context with numerous real examples. This book is a modern classic and is still available. For those readers familiar with the Fleming book, the chemogenesis story can be considered as an adjunct to chapter 3, Ionic Reactions, the only part of the Fleming book that is not logically complete.
