Product Description
Encouraging a new attitude and approach to chemistry, this is the first such collection designed for lab courses and experimental teaching. Experts from around the globe present over 40 real-life teaching experiments, all clearly structured and divided into the five main principles of sustainable and green chemistry: catalysis, solvents, high yield and one-pot synthesis, limiting waste and exposure, as well as special topics.
With a foreword by Nobel prize winner Jean Marie Lehn.

Product Description
Supramolecular chemistry is a central theme not only in chemistry, but in neighboring disciplines including physics and the biological sciences. The author has introduced this notion and has been awarded the Nobel Prize for his achievements in this area. He presents here the concepts, lines of development and perspectives of this highly interdisciplinary and burgeoning field of research.

Topics include:

- molecular recognition
- catalysis and transport processes
- molecular and supramolecular devices
- self-processes

By placing the basic concepts into a broader perspective, the author succeeds in inspiring, stimulating and challenging the creative imagination of his reader. ... Read more

A Magnificiant Guide On Supramolecular Chemistry!
When I first got into the world of supramolecular chemistry I didn't know where to start, where to gather a general view of the topics. I also wanted to search some interesting examples in the literature. This book helped meachieve these in a very short time. The subjects are up-to-date and theexamples given in the text are really impressing. I had the book from ourschool library and hope to have one to my own- as a guide all the time.. ... Read more

Product Description
Authored by a rising star in the field and one of its pioneers, this textbook is ideal for interdisciplinary courses -- bridging chemistry, materials science, physics and biology. Adopting a completely new and visionary approach, this is a unique learning tool, focusing on just six concepts crucial for understanding nanochemistry: surface, size, shape, self-assembly, defects and the interface of biology and nanochemistry. These concepts are elucidated through the analysis of six materials representing the real life application of the nanochemistry concepts. The teaching questions included provide real "food for thought", thus training students to think as a researcher does and so develop problem-solving skills.

 "...In condensing the massive, diverse, and seemingly unrelated fields of nanochemistry...they [the authors] have once again produced a coherent manual that fully embraces nanochemistry in all its guises, and, in the process, have have created ingenuous ways to connect and relate important concepts in this field.  This book will no doubt become a favorite for teachers who want to introduce students to various concepts and approaches of nanochemistry, and will allow a student to get a clear picture of the entire field of nanochemistry from one source..." - Matthew Rycenga and Prof. Younan Xia, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Washington University, St. Louis (USA) ...

Product Description
Twenty internationally recognized scientists including Nobel prize winner J.-M. Lehn, have combined their knowledge of supramolecular chemistry to cover this new and rapidly developing field. Some of the features described in this book include: supramolecular assemblies and devices; molecular recognition, information transmission; synthetic and biological receptor systems; selective transport from ions to biomacromolecules and supramolecular catalysts. It contains many computer generated molecular colour models as well as numerous references leading to original work and other reviews. ... Read more
