Opis

Here is an in-depth presentation of current research and theory on the chemistry of three-dimensional polycyclic molecules, or 'cage molecules, ' synthesized compounds with closed structures. Internationally known scientists introduce their areas of expertise, ranging from general principles to highly specialized perspectives on this fascinating branch of pure chemistry

Carbocyclic Cage Compounds: Chemistry and Applications by Eiji Osawa and Osamu Yonemitsu

Here is an in–depth presentation of current research and theory on the chemistry of three–dimensional polycyclic molecules, or "cage molecules," synthesized compounds with closed structures. Internationally known scientists introduce their areas of expertise, ranging from general principles to highly specialized perspectives on this fascinating branch of pure chemistry.
