Supramolecular chemistry and nanochemistry are two strongly interrelated, cutting edge frontiers in research in the chemical sciences. The results of recent work in the area are now an increasing part of modern degree courses and hugely important to researchers. This concise book clearly outlines the core concepts that underlie these fields and for the first time takes an umbrella view of the whole area in a way accessible to students and researchers alike. Explanations are underpinned by carefully selected key references and examples from recent literature. The modern fusion of synthetic, materials and supramolecular chemistry with crystal engineering and the emerging principles of nanotechnology makes this book an ideal introduction to current chemical thought for researchers and a superb resource for students entering these exciting areas for the first time.
