Trends and Perspectives in Modern Computational Science
by George Maroulis, Theodore Simos
2006 · CRC Press
This volume contains a collection of the lectures of the invited speakers and symposium organizers presented at the International Conference of Computational methods in Science and Engineering (ICCMSE 2006), held in Chania, Greece, October 2006. The content of the papers bears upon new developments of Computational Science pertinent to Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Mathematics and Engineering. Molecular Science is a privileged ground for the application and evaluation of new mathematical tools and computational methods. In recent years, novelty and progress with greatest conceivable speed is common experience. This flavor of research findings carrying many consequences for distant fields is easily evidenced in the lectures collected in this volume.
A thorough overview of terpyridine applications In Terpyridines: Multifaceted Ligands for Diverse Applications, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date summary of the most recent developments in the synthesis and application of terpyridine compounds. The authors introduce the history and fundamentals of terpyridine ligands before moving on to discuss their complexes and main-group elements. In addition, self-healing and shape-memory materials, as well as 2D and 3D supramolecular networks based on terpyridine are described. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to terpyridine complexes for biomedical applications Comprehensive explorations of energy-storage applications, photovoltaic applications, and the application of terpyridine complexes to light-emitting device technology Practical discussions of electrocatalytic applications, including water splitting and CO2 reduction In-depth studies of metallo-supramolecular polymers, networks, self-assembly processes, and self-sorting mechanisms. Perfect for organic, complex, and polymer chemists, Terpyridines: Multifaceted Ligands for Diverse Applications will also benefit physical chemists with an interest in the synthesis and applications of prominent terpyridine complexes.
Supramolecular Polymers and Assemblies
by Ulrich S. Schubert, George R. Newkome, Andreas Winter
2021 · John Wiley & Sons
Explore modern characterization methods and new applications in this modern overview of supramolecular polymer chemistry Supramolecular Polymers and Assemblies: From Synthesis to Properties and Applications delivers a superlative summary and description of general concepts and definitions in the field. The book offers informative and accessible treatments of crucial concepts like metal-containing compounds, hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, pi-pi stacking, and more. Characterization remains a primary focus of the book throughout, making it extremely useful for practitioners in the field. Emphasis is also placed on metallo-supramolecular polymers and materials which have found applications in areas like smart or intelligent materials and systems with special photochemical and photophysical properties, like LEDs and solar cells. Applications, including self-healing materials, opto-electronics, sensing, and catalysis are all discussed as well. The book details many of the exciting developments in the field of supramolecular chemistry that have occurred since the 1987 Nobel Prize was awarded to pioneers in this rapidly developing field. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to supramolecular assemblies based on ionic interactions Explorations of supramolecular polymers based on hydrogen-bonding interactions, metal-to-ligand interactions, p-Electronic interactions, crown-ether recognition, cucurbiturils, and host-guest chemistry of calixarenes A discussion of cyclodextrins in the field of supramolecular polymers Examinations of supramolecular polymers based on the host-guest chemistry of pillarenes, and those formed by orthogonal non-covalent interactions A treatment of the characterization of supramolecular polymers Supramolecular Polymers and Assemblies: From Synthesis to Properties and Applications will earn a place in the libraries of researchers and practitioners of the material science, as well as polymer chemists seeding a one-stop reference for supramolecular polymers.
Dendritic Molecules
by George R. Newkome, Charles N. Moorefield, Fritz Vögtle
2008 · John Wiley & Sons
The first book on dendrimers! The authors, pioneers in this scientific field, describe basic principles and current developments in the rapidly evolving field of dendrimer research. All aspects of the subject are covered: the authors provide a historical overview, theoretical background, and discussions of the synthesis and applications of dendrimers. The book thus spans organic chemistry and more application-orientated disciplines like material science and pharmaceutical chemistry. The excellent, detailed list of references further increases the value of the book. The optimal presentation of the structural formulas of dendrimers - highly symmetrical giant molecules - helps the reader understand the sophisticated synthesis quickly. This book will set the standard for further monographs on this subject.
