Supramolecular Coordination Complexes Design, Synthesis, and Applications

Supramolecular Coordination Complexes: Design, Synthesis, and Applications discusses the growth of the field and explores the advantages, opportunities and latest applications of supramolecular complexes. Beginning with an introduction to design principles, synthetic methods, and post-synthetic functionalization of supramolecular complexes, the book goes on to compile the different analytical and computational modeling methods used to understand the structure and functional properties of supramolecular structures. Applications of supramolecular complexes in biomedicine, sensing, catalysis and materials are then explored in detail.

Drawing on the knowledge of a global team of experts, this book provides a wealth of interesting information for students and researchers working in the design, synthesis or application of such complexes.
