{"product_id":"9789814678377","title":"Hydrogen-bonded Capsules: Molecular Behavior In Small Spaces: Molecular Behavior in Small Spaces","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monograph describes the behavior of molecules confined to small spaces. The small spaces are created by the self-assembly of modules into hollow capsular structures through hydrogen bonding; capsules assembled by metal\/ligand binding or other forces are not included. Topics discussed include how assembly of capsules occurs, how molecules get in and out of the capsules, new spatial arrangements (stereochemistry) created in the capsules, and the altered shapes, interactions and reactivities of molecules held inside the small spaces. The descriptions emphasize molecular recognition phenomena and the perspective is that of physical organic chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is the first monograph to treat reversible molecular encapsulation. More than 20 university and institute groups worldwide engage in this research, which represents the leading edge of activity in molecular recognition and the physical organic chemistry of confined molecules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpherical Capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalixarene Capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCylindrical Capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResorcinarene and Pyrogallolarene Capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereochemistry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChiral Capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpanded and Contracted Capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReactions in Capsules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduate students and researchers in physical organic chemistry, nanotechnology and nanoscience and materials science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe last monograph to deal with molecules inside molecules was published in 1994.
