Overview

Calixarenes in Action is unique among books devoted to this interesting class of synthetic macrocycles. Rather than emphasizing the molecular properties of calixarenes, it covers in depth their supramolecular functions, enlightening the reader as to the peculiar features of calixarenes as hosts and as platforms for the synthesis of more complex receptors and catalysts. Topics covered in detail include the use of calixarenes in: molecular modeling of calixarenesnon-covalent interactionscrystal engineeringcation recognitionanion recognitionsupramolecular devicesnew materialsself-assembly processessupramolecular catalysisThe interest in calixarenes has grown tremendously in the last few years and this book reports, for each topic, the most recent literature critically evaluated by active researchers in the field. Calixarenes in Action is a valuable reference book for researchers in organic, inorganic, analytical and environmental chemistry and can serve as a graduate-level text for students of supramolecular science and technology.Contents: Molecular Modeling of Calixarenes and Their Host-Guest Complexes (F C J M van Veggel) Recognition of Neutral Molecules by Calixarenes in Solution and in Gas Phase (A Pochini & A Arduini) Calixarenes in Spherical Metal Ion Recognition (A Casnati & R Ungaro) Calixarenes as Hosts for Quats (A D Cort & L Mandolini) Calixarene Based Anion Receptors (P D Beer & J B Cooper) Structural Properties and Theoretical Investigation of Solid State Calixarenes and Their Inclusion Complexes (F Ugozzoli) Calixarenes in Thin Film Supramolecular Materials (A J Lucke & C J M Stirling) Calixarenes in Self-Assembly Phenomena (V Bohmer & A Shivanyuk) Calixarene based Catalytic Systems (R Cacciapaglia & L Mandolini) Readership: Researchers in organic, inorganic, analytical and environmental chemistry, and graduate students of supramolecular science and technology.
