Inclusion Compounds

The rapid growth of interest in inclusion chemistry was highlighted recently by the award of the 1987 Nobel prize for chemistry to Professors D.J. Cram, J.-M. Lehn, and C.J. Pedersen. The principal aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the field of inclusion chemistry. In-depth coverage of subjects has been achieved by inviting the leading international authorities to write on their particular fields of interest. Their contributions include detailed descriptions of the design, synthesis and structure of organic host molecules, molecular recognition and complexation, and host-guest interaction. Previously underdeveloped subjects are given broad coverage, with separate chapters relating to calixarene chemistry and inclusion mechanisms, acyclic diol hosts, cyclophanes, and lariat ethers. Inclusion Compounds Volume 5 is complete in itself as a reference work on inorganic and physical aspects of inclusion phenomena. This book will be of interest and use to all those concerned with the fundamental study of inclusion compounds, as well as those interested in the applications of such complexes in the analytical, biochemical and industrial fields.
