The Chemistry of Macrocyclic Ligand Complexes [ electronic resource ] / by L. F. Lindoy.
By: Lindoy, L. F.
Material type: TextSeries: Cambridge Texts in Chemistry and Biochemistry. Publisher: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press , 2009ISBN: 9780511564376 ( e-book ).Subject(s): Inorganic Chemistry | Molecular Biology | Biochemistry | Structural BiologyGenre/Form: Electronic booksDDC classification: 547.5 Online resources: https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511564376 View to click Summary: This book contains an overview of complex formation by macrocyclic ligand systems. The study of macrocyclic chemistry represents a major area of activity which impinges on a range of other areas in both chemistry and biochemistry. The field has characteristically yielded many interesting and unusual compounds. The text discusses the structures and properties of macrocyclic compounds; the synthesis of macrocycles; polyether crown and related systems; metal-ion and molecular recognition (host-guest chemistry); as well as kinetic, thermodynamic and electrochemical aspects of a range of macrocyclic systems. A discussion of the different categories of naturally occurring macrocycles is also included. Specialist and non-specialist alike will find this a useful text. Apart from serving as a convenient reference for established workers in the field, it should also prove useful to new graduate students as well as to researchers from other areas who seek a general introduction to the subject. The topics discussed also provide a suitable basis for a senior undergraduate or graduate course in macrocyclic chemistry and inorganic complexes.Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
