The theory, methods, and practices needed to build molecules
and supramolecular systems
Using a synthetic approach to organic materials chemistry, this
book sets forth tested and proven methods and practices that make
it possible to engineer organic molecules offering special
properties and functions. Throughout the book, plenty of real-world
examples demonstrate the countless possibilities of creating
one-of-a-kind molecules and supramolecular systems to support a
broad range of applications. The book explores applications in both
materials and bioorganic chemistry, including molecular
electronics, energy storage, sensors, nanomedicine, and enzyme
engineering.
Organic Synthesis and Molecular Engineering consists of
fourteen chapters, each one contributed by one or more leading
international experts in the field. The contributions are based on
a thorough review and analysis of the current literature as well as
the authors’ firsthand experience in the lab engineering new
organic molecules. Designed as a practical lab reference, the book
offers:
* Tested and proven synthetic approaches to organic materials
chemistry
* Methods and practices to successfully engineer functionality
into organic molecules
* Explanations of the principles and concepts underlying
self-assembly and supramolecular chemistry
* Guidance in selecting appropriate structural units used in the
design and synthesis of functional molecules and materials
* Coverage of the full range of applications in materials and
bioorganic chemistry
* A full chapter on graphene, a new topic generating intense
research
Organic Synthesis and Molecular Engineering begins with
core concepts, molecular building blocks, and synthetic tools.
Next, it explores molecular electronics, supramolecular chemistry
and self-assembly, graphene, and photoresponsive materials
engineering. In short, it offers everything researchers need to
fully grasp the underlying theory and then build new molecules and
supramolecular systems.
