Frontiers in Supramolecular Organic Chemistry and Photochemistry

From the introductory chapter: ep Supramolecular chemistry is chemistry beyond the molecule, the designed chemistry of the intermolecular bond. It is a novel, highly interdisciplinary field of science covering the chemical, physical and biological features of chemical species held together and organized by means of intermolecular binding interactions. The common thread of all areas of supramolecular chemistry is the information stored in the structural features of molecules and of supermolecules. Thus, it is a kind of molecular information science that is progressively shaping up. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
