Title: The Chemistry of Macrocyclic Ligand Complexes
Description: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, (1989). orig.boards. 23x15cm, viii,269 pp. Covers heavily creased. Binding corners bumped. Good. ¶ Contents: What is different about macrocyclic ligand complexes?; Synthetic procedures; Macrocyclic systems - some further categories; The metal-ion chemistry of polyether and related macrocyclic systems; Host-guest chemistry: macrocyclic hosts and non-metallic guests; Thermodynamic considerations; Kinetic and mechanistic considerations; Redox properties; The natural macrocycles ["The study of macrocyclic ligand systems represents a major activity impinging on a wide range of areas in chemistry and biochemistry. This book contains an overview of the macrocyclic ligand systems and discusses the structure and properties of macrocyclic systems; the synthesis of macrocycles; polyether crown and related systems; metal-ion and molecular recognition (host-guest chemistry); and kinetic, thermodynamic, and electrochemical aspects of these complexes. The author also covers the various categories of synthetic and naturally occuring macrocycles." - Publisher's description]
