This introductory textbook on supramolecular chemistry is a thoroughly revised and expanded version of the 1st edition, originally published in 2020. All chapters have been brought up to date and now include "Further Reading" sections that highlight relevant developments. In addition, a new chapter on supramolecular polymers has been added. With these changes, this book provides an even more comprehensive introduction to the exciting field of supramolecular chemistry than before. Readers will learn what forces hold supramolecular architectures together, how supramolecular systems are created and characterized, how molecular switches, motors, transporters, catalysts, chemosensors, and other functional systems work, and where supramolecular chemistry can play or already plays a role in our lives.
In 2022 the first edition of this book won the Literature Prize of the German Chemical Industry Association VCI. For the full press release (in German): https://www.vci.de/fonds/presse-und-infos/pressemitteilungen/preisgeld-fuer-supramolekuele.jsp

Stefan Kubik studied chemistry at Heinrich-Heine-Universität in Düsseldorf and at King's College in London. He graduated in 1987 with a diploma thesis in the group of Prof. Dr. G. Wulff, and received his Ph.D. in 1992. In 1993 he spent one year as a post-doc in the group of Prof. J. Rebek Jr. at M.I.T. After returning to Düsseldorf in September 1994, he began investigations on the host-guest chemistry of cyclopeptides containing non-natural aromatic amino acid subunits. This work led to his Habilitation in April 2002. Between March 2003 and October 2004, he taught organic chemistry at Bergische Universität Wuppertal as a substitute professor. Since November 2004, he is full professor at Kaiserslautern University of Technology. He is an author of more than 100 publications.
