Description
Book SynopsisThis textbook combines the theoretical background and the practical methods of supramolecular chemistry. Particular emphasis is given to the methods which play an increasingly important role in the design of characterization and applications of supramolecular complexes.
Trade Review"...Any research group in this field will find this book an excellent resource...it would be an excellent 'starter pack' for graduate students about to embark on an adventure in supramolecular chemistry". (Chemistry in Britain, May 2000) "this book...deserves to find a large audience. Both experienced and future researchers will benefit from reading it and keeping it close at hand." (Angewandte Chemie, 18th September 2000) "It is a comprehensive overview of non-covalent interactions and a guide to characterising molecular complexes by physical methods." (Jnl of Inclusion Phenomena Macrocyclic Chemistry, No.40 2001)
