Supramolecular Chemistry - Concepts and Perspectives

Die supramolekulare Chemie ist ein zentrales Teilgebiet der Chemie, das auch für die anderen Naturwissenschaften, zum Beispiel die Physik und die Biowissenschaften immer wichtiger wird. Der Autor, der für seine Arbeiten zur supramolekularen Chemie den Nobelpreis erhielt, bietet hier eine breit geschilderte Darstellung dieses faszinierenden Themas.

Behandelt werden unter anderem:

- Molekulare Erkennung
- Transportprozesse und Carrier-Design
- Reaktivität und katalytische Eigenschaften supramolekularer Systeme
- Molekulare und supramolekulare Schalter
- Selbstorganisation

In seinem Buch gelingt es dem Autor, die Phantasie, die Kreativität und den Forschergeist seiner Leser zu wecken sowie die zentrale Bedeutung und die zukünftigen Entwicklungsrichtungen dieses jungen interdisziplinären Forschungsgebietes zu beleuchten.

Klappentext:

Supramolecular chemistry is a central theme not only in chemistry, but in neighboring disciplines including physics and the biological sciences. The author has introduced this notion and has been awarded the Nobel Prize for his achievements in this area. He presents here the concepts, lines of development and perspectives of this highly interdisciplinary and burgeoning field of research.

Topics include:

- molecular recognition
- catalysis and transport processes
- molecular and supramolecular devices
- self-processes

By placing the basic concepts into a broader perspective, the author succeeds in inspiring, stimulating and challenging the creative imagination of his reader.
