Supramolecular Chemistry
Description:... Starting from the basics, this new book provides a thorough introduction to supramolecular chemistry, covering the theory behind the subject and how the theory is applied. It also includes coverage of the more important techniques needed by supramolecular chemists, such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, potentiometric titration, electrochemistry, fluoroimetry, TGA and DSC. These techniques are carefully introduced where appropriate, and always from the supramolecular chemists perspective. The book includes numerous examples and problems and has web pointers where appropriate, and its own website, to include updated information and additional material. FEATURES
- Coverage of important techniques at relevant places in the text
- Many examples and problems together with the URLs of interesting and relevant sites
- A web site with additional information, and the latest developments
CONTENTS: Historical Development of Supramolecular Chemistry; Concepts; The Supramolecular Chemistry of Life; Cation Binding Hosts; Anion Binding Hosts; Binding of Neural Molecules; Self Assembly; Liquid Crystals and Liquid Clathrates; Theoretical Treatments and Databases; Applications; Glossary; Answers; Index.
