CONTENTS NOTE
Text of Note
"This textbook describes supramolecular chemistry from its basic concepts to the latest developments. It begins by treating molecular-recognition chemistry including crown ethers, cyclodextrines, and calixarenes. Also explained are molecules with fascinating shapes and functions such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, rotaxane, and catenane, and molecular assemblies such as bilayers and LB films. Thereafter applications of supermolecules to nanotechnology are introduced with many examples of molecular devices. The last part of the book describes biological supermolecules and their mimics, including ion channels, signal transduction, photosynthetic machines, natural and artificial enzymes, catalytic antibodies, and ribozymes."--BOOK JACKET.
