Supramolecular Chemistry: An Introduction - Tapa blanda

Supramolecular structures are highlighted in the context of their common field with the discussion extending to the latest, most up-to-date research results available. Beginning with simple complex-forming compounds and moving on to complex supramolecules and superstructures, it uses concise, self-contained chapters to discuss the interactions of several molecules and their properties, functions and applications to molecular aggregates and molecular assemblies. This approach underlines its close relationship to physics, physical chemistry and biochemistry, exposing its multidisciplinary nature. Molecular recognition, the directed interaction between host and guest, is also discussed in detail.
