UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:85965626 AB - The book delivers a superlative summary and description of general concepts and definitions in the field. It offers informative and accessible treatments of crucial concepts like metal-containing compounds, hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, π-π stacking, and more. Characterization remains a primary focus of the book throughout, making it extremely useful for practitioners in the field. Emphasis is also placed on metallo-supramolecular polymers and materials which have found applications in areas like smart or intelligent materials and systems with special photochemical and photophysical properties, like LEDs and solar cells. Applications, including self-healing materials, opto-electronics, sensing, and catalysis are all discussed as well. The book details many of the exciting developments in the field of supramolecular chemistry that have occurred since the 1987 Nobel Prize was awarded to pioneers in this rapidly developing field. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of : a thorough introduction to supramolecular assemblies based on ionic interactions ; explorations of supramolecular polymers based on hydrogen-bonding interactions, metal-to-ligand interactions, π-Electronic interactions, crown-ether recognition, cucurbiturils, and host-guest chemistry of calixarenes ; a discussion of cyclodextrins in the field of supramolecular polymers ; examinations of supramolecular polymers based on the host-guest chemistry of pillarenes, and those formed by orthogonal non-covalent interactions, a treatment of the characterization of supramolecular polymers ER -
