Macrocylic Compounds Chemistry

Based on a series of lectures in macrocyclic chemistry held by Jean-Marie Lehn at the College de France, this introduction offers extensive coverage of the vast panorama of macrocyclic and macropolycyclic chemistry. Inter-disciplinary in approach, it treats significant aspects of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry and touches biological phenomena as well. Using this book, graduate students and researchers will gain insight into the fascinating concepts of molecular recognition and supramolecular chemistry.
