Calixarenes in Action is unique among books devoted to this interesting class of synthetic macrocycles. Rather than emphasizing the molecular properties of calixarenes, it covers in depth their supramolecular functions, enlightening the reader as to the peculiar features of calixarenes as hosts and as platforms for the synthesis of more complex receptors and catalysts. Topics covered in detail include the use of calixarenes in: molecular modeling of calixarenesnon-covalent interactionscrystal engineeringcation recognitionanion recognitionsupramolecular devicesnew materialsself-assembly...

A summary of some of the most important aspects of supramolecular science, from molecular recognition in chemical and biological systems to supramolecular devices, materials and catalysis. The 17 chapters cover calixarenes, catenanes, cavitands, cholophanes, dendrimers, membranes and self-assembly systems, molecular modelling, molecular level devices, organic materials, peptides and protein surfaces, recognition of carbohydrates, rotaxanes, supramolecular catalysis. A chapter written by J.-M. Lehn indicates the future prospects for the entire field.
