Supramolecular chemistry

Starting from the basics, this new book provides a thorough introduction to supramolecular chemistry, covering the theory behind the subject and how the theory is applied. It also includes coverage of the more important techniques needed by supramolecular chemists, such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, potentiometric titration, electrochemistry, fluoroimetry, TGA and DSC. These techniques are carefully introduced where appropriate, and always from the supramolecular chemists perspective. The book includes numerous examples and problems and has web pointers where appropriate, and its own website, to include updated information and additional material.

This new edition (1st ed., 2000) provides an exceptional introduction to the interdisciplinary subject of supramolecular chemistry, bringing together disparate chemical, biological, and materials science topics that form the basis of this fairly new discipline. The subject is defined in chapter 1, using Nobel Prize winner J-M Lehn's description, as the chemistry of intermolecular interactions. Steed (Durham Univ., UK) and Atwood (Univ. of Missouri, Columbia) cover a wide range of subjects in this rather broad field in a clear, logical manner, and include many examples from the primary literature to complement the topics discussed. Another great strength is the authors' careful definitions of the core concepts/terminology that are relevant to this expanding field. Additionally, they describe experimental or instrumental techniques (e.g., X-ray diffraction) that provide useful results for the subject in special "boxes." Interesting historical facts related to supramolecular chemistry are interspersed throughout the book and make for fascinating reading. The illustrations, including the color plates, are of good quality. The authors are to be congratulated for succeeding in their aim of writing an accessible, well-balanced, and self-contained yet comprehensive work in this exciting area, which can serve as an introduction to the field for both academic and professional audiences. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. M. Rossi Vassar College
