Crystal Design: Structure and Function, Volume 7

This book covers major classes of crystals in the design of novel materials, with an emphasis on advances and applications. * The editor is one of the pioneers in the "design" and "engineering" approach in solid state supramolecular chemistry * All authors developed a specific class of crystals and are world leaders in the field * Reflects the rapid progress made in this fieldContent: Chapter 1 Hydrogen Bonds in Inorganic Chemistry: Application to Crystal Design (pages 1–75): Lee BrammerChapter 2 Molecular Recognition and Self?Assembly Between Amines and Alcohols (Supraminols) (pages 77–151): Raffaele Saladino and Stephen HanessianChapter 3 Very Large Supramolecular Capsules Based on Hydrogen Bonding (pages 153–175): Jerry L.
