Separations and Reactions in Organic Supramolecular Chemistry - (Perspectives in Supramolecular Chemistry) by Fumio Toda & Roger Bishop (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A new volume in the "Perspectives in Supramolecular Chemistry" series focusing on separating supramolecular structures, a key step in supramolecular chemistry.

• Two guest editors have been at the forefront of the development of chromatographical methods to deal with supramolecular systems.
• Reactions of supramolecular structures show the way into the future of chemistry.
• Fumio Toda is one of the driving forces in the development of supramolecular separation systems.
• A practical title in the prestigious "Perspectives in Supramolecular Chemistry" series.

From the Back Cover

Perspectives in Supramolecular Chemistry relates recent developments and new exciting approaches in supramolecular chemistry. The series covers all areas from theoretical and modelling aspects through organic and inorganic chemistry and biochemistry to nanochemistry, materials, solid-state and polymer sciences reflecting the many and varied applications of supramolecular structures in modern chemistry.

The design of artificial new host compounds has progressed rapidly and contributed to the development of new fields of supramolecular chemistry. Furthermore, the application of supramolecular systems is becoming more important and has implications on, for example, medicine and agriculture.

Focusing on the aspects of separation and reaction that are specific to supramolecular chemistry, this work will be of value to research chemists, engineers and graduate students, not only in the field of supramolecular chemistry, but in the wider area of pharmaceutical chemistry, green chemistry and agriculture.
