Supramolecular Organization and Materials Design

Review of the hardback: 'Supramolecular Organization and Materials Design edited by William Jones and Chintamani Rao demonstrates the importance of supramolecular chemistry and self-organization in the design and synthesis of novel organic, inorganic, and biomaterials. The bottom-up approach of supramolecular context of the synthesis of new materials and function-specific molecular devices … this book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students of chemistry, materials science, and physics who require a summary of the most recent developments in this field.'
