Supramolecular chemistry is a rapidly progressing field on the crossroads among chemistry, biochemistry, physics and technology. This book demonstrates phenomena unthinkable within the realm of classical organic chemistry (for example, alkali metal anions) that not only provide the basis for revolutionizing numerous branches of industry but also improve the understanding of the functioning of living organisms and of the origin of life. Designing supramolecular systems with desired properties should among others make chemical industry cleaner and more safe, and electronics smaller by developing devices composed of single molecule or molecular aggregate. It will also change the way we use energy resources. This brief but comprehensive coverage of the whole field of supramolecular chemistry should make this book useful to Ph.D. students and non-specialists and also those working in the field.

'A major strength of this work is its inclusion of literally hundreds of clearly drawn structures and diagrams to assist reader understanding of this complex area. In addition, the author has included hundreds of up-to-date references. It also has a useful and extensive index. The book is valuable not only to those working in the field of supramolecular chemistry, but also to chemists in unrelated areas of research who want a refreshingly well-written monograph on an emerging area of important research.' H.T. McKone, Saint Joseph College in Choice, September 2002
