- A comprehensive, modern overview of the field of Supramolecular Chemistry and its evolution into the nanoscale.
- Thoroughly revised and modernised coverage of traditional topics such as molecular and ion host guest chemistry, crystal engineering, networks, topological entanglement, clathrates, self-assembly, molecular devices and liquid phase assembly.
- Covering new topics such as dendrimers, supramolecular polymers, microfabrication, nanoparticles, chemical emergence, metal-organic frameworks, ion pairs, gels, ionic liquids, supramolecular catalysis, molecular electronics, polymorphism, gas sorption reactions and anion-pi interactions.
- Five new chapters in this new edition: ion pair receptors, molecular guests in solution, network solids, gels, and nanochemistry
- Unique “key references system” to highlight crucial reviews and primary literature.
- Exercises and problems with answers on a web site.
- Careful explanation of difficult or potentially unfamiliar topics. While fully contemporary with modern research literature the book assume little prior knowledge of supramolecular chemistry.
- Numerous key experimental techniques described in accessible “boxes” useful for the non-expert while maintaining the flow of scientific ideas for the more experienced.
- All technical terms are carefully explained and placed into context.
- All figures from the book are available from a Wiley supplementary website as Powerpoint slides for instructors
- Author maintains a website of relevant URLs and additional information (www.dur.ac.uk/jon.steed/books.htm.)
