Supramolecular Chemistry - Tapa blanda

"...a timely publication...I can thoroughly recommend this book" (Chemistry in Britain, January 2001) "This is an excellent book...I highly recommend it..." (ChemWeb, 24th January 2001 ) "this book is an excellent reference work for anyone interested in the chemistry of technetium. This book is groundbreaking and will help to foster new courses at university level..." (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, March 2001) "It brilliantly covers both the breadth and depth of supramolecular chemistry. This is an excellent book, and I highly recommend It.." (The Alchemist, 16th March 2001) "Steed and Atwood's excellent book is highly recommended as a latter day Rosetta Stone for those students and professional chemists wishing to become fluent in the exciting new language of supramolecular chemistry." (Jnl of Inclusion Phenomena Macrocylic Chemistry, Vol.40 No.327 2001) "a welcome, timely and valuable publication" (Synthesis, No.3 2002

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.
