Advances in Supramolecular ChemistryAuthor(s): G.W. Gokel\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: JAI Press Inc.\nISBN-13: 9780762305575, 978-0762305575\nSynopsis\nIn this volume, inorganic, organic, and bioorganic chemistry are represented in contributions from around the world. Pioneering work in self-assembled structures organized by the use of transition metals is described in chapter 1, followed by details of extensive studies of self-assembled structures formed from various biomolecules in chapter 2. The next two chapters describe the formation of spherical molecular containers and their understanding of such structures based on Platonic and Archimedean solids, and the fascinating family of synthetic peptide receptors and the interactions that can be explored using these host molecules. In chapter 5 a mixture of computational chemistry, drug design, and synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry in the development of superoxid.
