• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Core Concepts in Supramolecular Chemistry and Nanochemistry: From Supramolecules to Nanotechnology provides a concise introduction to this fast developing subject. The book offers a modern up-to date approach and carefully explains the basics and essential theory behind the subject. Assuming little in the way of prior knowledge, the text introduces cation, anion and neutral molecule receptors together in one chapter and highlights the common features between these closely related areas. The close links between supramolecular and biological chemistry are emphasised by combining natural and artificial systems throughout the text.

---

Supramolecular chemistry and nanochemistry are two strongly interrelated cutting edge frontiers in research in the chemical sciences. The results of recent work in the area are now an increasing part of modern degree courses and hugely important to researchers.

Core Concepts in Supramolecular Chemistry and Nanochemistry clearly outlines the fundamentals that underlie supramolecular chemistry and nanochemistry and takes an umbrella view of the whole area. This concise textbook traces the fascinating modern practice of the chemistry of the non-covalent bond from its fundamental origins through to it expression in the emergence of nanochemistry.

Fusing synthetic materials and supramolecular chemistry with crystal engineering and the emerging principles of nanotechnology, the book is an ideal introduction to current chemical thought for researchers and a superb resource for students entering these exciting areas for the first time. The book builds from first principles rather than adopting a review style and includes key references to guide the reader through influential work.
