Macrocycle-Functionalised Nanosensors

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book ventures into the captivating realm of supramolecular chemistry, where molecular containers, particularly cucurbiturils, unlock new vistas in trace chemical detection. It serves as a beacon illuminating the path to understanding host-guest complexations and their practical applications through nanosensors. It adeptly guides readers from fundamental principles to advanced concepts, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate this cutting-edge domain. By elucidating the intricacies of macrocycle functionalisation, the book showcases how these molecular architectures empower the fabrication of nanosensors endowed with remarkable sensitivity and selectivity. An indispensable resource for scientists and researchers charting the frontier of molecular detection technologies."

"This is a very interesting book that covers the synthesis techniques involving supramolecular chemistry and nanoparticles to develop exquisitely sensitive chemical sensors. The authors have gone to great lengths to summarise materials from a wide range of areas and to include some original data. The book acts as the Rosetta stone for those looking into host-guest interactions to detect trace chemicals. The well-produced diagrams and easy-to-follow text as well as the equations make it more interesting and helpful for final-year master's students and academics in areas as diverse as chemistry, forensic science, condensed matter physics, and materials science. I will certainly recommend it to my students."
