Calixarenes in the nanoworld

Abstract

Calixarenes have been widely exploited in all areas of supramolecular chemistry over the past three decades and many recent developments have concerned their applications in the production of chemical entities with the dimensions of nanometres, as in "nanochemistry". Calixarenes in the Nanoworld Relates calixarenes to nanochemistry key information for industries engaged in the production of high-tech materials. Provides a timely review of both what is known and the exciting prospects provided by calixarenes Contains several review articles which define the importance of calixarenes as reagents in nanochemistry. Calixarenes in the Nanoworld will be invaluable to students, academics, research institutions, and industries engaged in the production of high-tech materials. © 2007 Springer. All Rights Reserved.
