Contents:
Front Matter -- Introduction -- Synthesis, Properties, and Applications of Functionalized 2,2':6',2"-Terpyridines -- Chemistry and Properties of Terpyridine Transition Metal Ion Complexes -- Metallo-Supramolecular Architectures Based on Terpyridine Complexes -- p-Conjugated Polymers Incorporating Terpyridine Metal Complexes -- Functional Polymers Incorporating Terpyridine-Metal Complexes -- Terpyridine Metal Complexes and their Biomedical Relevance -- Terpyridines and Nanostructures -- Catalytic Applications of Terpyridines and Their Transition Metal Complexes -- Concluding Remarks -- Index.
Summary: The purposeful self-assembly of discrete molecules or atoms to form larger-scale, systematic structures is termed supramolecular chemistry - a field that earned the 1987 Nobel prize in chemistry for its pioneers Lehn, Pedersen, and Cram. Self-recognition and reproducible self-assembly are one of the great keys to life, with DNA and its information-carrying helix structure being the best example. A very promising approach to the creation of man-made materials with superior properties and perfectly defined structures is the imitation and harnessing of natural and unnatural self-assembly processe.
