Product Description
This text provides a concise and fully illustrated introduction to the study of interactions between molecules. Now a fundamental area of chemical research, supramolecular chemistry is important in an array of fields, ranging from the design of extraction agents for environmentally toxic species to the development of new pharmaceuticals. This book is structured in a logical manner and provides an ideal basis for a short lecture course for advanced undergraduate or graduate students. It begins with the general approach to supramolecular chemistry, followed by the specific methods used to bind cationic, anionic, and neutral guests. The discussion is then broadened to encompass the use of these methods to assemble remarkable, eye-catching architectures, and finally, the current and future applications of supramolecular chemistry are outlined. Each chapter concludes with a carefully selected list of leading references, making the book an ideal entry to the field.

 A really nice and interesting read October 14, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Even if the book is easy to read it doesn't mean it is plain. It is interesting and it has a good structure. Some books like this end up as dry catalogues; this one does not. It gave me ideas. It sent me to the bookshelf to check up details. ("Is that really so. Never thought about it.") And if you don't need it, but have interests in the topical neighbourhood; just buy it. It's nice to read in when you are tired of equations or algorithms in chemistry. Or if you end in a good chair with a cold and wants to do something useful in chemistry, which is not too strenuous.
 a good book June 17, 2000

It's a good book to get started on this very technical subject.
