Supramolecular Organization and Materials Design cover

With contributions from leading workers in the field, this book will be suitable for researchers in chemistry and materials science.

With contributions from leading workers in the field, this book examines the design, synthesis and study of molecular structures held together by non-covalent interactions. It demonstrates the seminal importance of supramolecular chemistry and self-organization in the design and synthesis of novel organic materials, inorganic materials and biomaterials.Supramolecular Chemistry deals with the design, synthesis and study of molecular structures held together by non-covalent interactions. Structures of this type are ubiquitous in nature and are frequently used as blueprints for the design of synthetic equivalents. This book is intended to demonstrate the seminal importance of supramolecular chemistry and self-organization in the design and synthesis of novel organic materials, inorganic materials and biomaterials. With contributions from leading workers in the field, the book shows how the bottom-up approach of supramolecular chemistry can be used to synthesize not only new materials, but function specific molecular devices as well. This book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in chemistry, materials science and physics who need a summary of the most recent developments in the field.

Review of the hardback: 'Supramolecular Organization and Materials Design edited by William Jones and Chintamani Rao demonstrates the importance of supramolecular chemistry and self-organization in the design and synthesis of novel organic, inorganic, and biomaterials. The bottom-up approach of supramolecular context of the synthesis of new materials and function-specific molecular devices … this book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students of chemistry, materials science, and physics who require a summary of the most recent developments in this field.' Materials Today
Review of the hardback: '… an excellent overview of the newer facets of materials chemistry, together with challenges for further research … With more than 1100 references, this book should be compulsory reading for any senior university undergraduate on a materials chemistry course and will be an inspiration for any graduate student beginning research in this area.' Mike Hursthouse, New Scientist
Review of the hardback: '… this is an excellent book … and contains a wealth of good illustrations … recommended for everyone whose work is concerned with the latest developments in the science of materials.' Matthias Epple, Angewandte Chemie
