Description
Book SynopsisSupramolecular chemistry deals with interactions between molecules and covers areas such as molecular recognition, molecular machines, molecular memories, and nanostructures. This volume concentrates on the supramolecular chemistry of transition metals.
Trade Review"....a well constructed and stimulating guide to the ever-growing area of metallic supramolecular chemistry....",(The Alchemist) "...the book is essential for every chemistry library...",(Angewandte Chemie)
