About The Book:

"An Introduction to Supramolecular Chemistry" by A. DAS offers a detailed and accessible exploration of the fundamental principles and applications of supramolecular chemistry. Written for undergraduate and postgraduate chemistry students, this book delves into the core aspects of supramolecular interactions, providing clear explanations of complex concepts such as noncovalent interactions, molecular recognition, and the formation of supramolecular assemblies.

The text covers a wide array of topics, from the concept of supramolecular chemistry to the study of different types of noncovalent interactions in supramolecular systems. Readers will explore the principles behind molecular recognition, guest-host spatial relationships, and the biological applications of supramolecular systems. The book also includes discussions on the importance of cooperativity and complementarity in guest binding, as well as the recognition and binding of cations and anions by various hosts such as podands, corands, cryptands, spherands, and torands.

In addition to these fundamental concepts, the book also introduces more advanced topics such as transition metal-coordinated self-assemblies, including catenanes, helices, molecular knots, molecular racks, molecular ladders, and molecular grids. It further explores the development of molecular devices, such as photonic, electronic, and ionic systems, as well as electrochemical sensors for cations, anions, and neutral molecules. Special attention is given to molecular switches, chemonics, and semiochemistry.

Designed to meet the needs of chemistry students at various levels, this book provides an in-depth understanding of the rapidly advancing field of supramolecular chemistry, making it an essential resource for students interested in the design and application of molecular devices and systems.
