Publisher's Synopsis
The rapid growth of interest in inclusion chemistry was highlighted recently by the award of the 1987 Nobel prize for chemistry to Professors D.J. Cram, J-M. Lehn, and C.J. Pedersen. The principal aim of Inclusion Compounds is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the field of inclusion chemistry. In-depth coverage of subjects has been achieved by inviting the leading international authorities to write on their particular fields of interest: their contributions include detailed descriptions of the design, synthesis, and structure of organic host molecules, molecular recognition and complexation, and host-guest interactions. Inclusion Compounds, Volume Five is complete in itself as a reference work on inorganic and physical aspects of inclusion phenomena.
