This book provides a timely review of both the current state of knowledge and the exciting prospects offered by calixarenes in nanotechnology. The book incorporates several review articles defining the importance of calixarenes as reagents in nanochemistry. Calixarenes in the Nanoworld is designed for a broad audience of professionals in universities, research institutions, and industries engaged in the production of high-tech materials.

"Calixarenes: An introduction 2nd Edition provides a concise overview of the field with particular attention to the historical development of calixarenes. Topics covered include: how to synthesize and functionalize calixarenes, examination of calixarenes properties, and applied uses of calixarenes." "This book contains extensive references to recent literature, offering the reader a valid presentation of information, and will be of immediate value to researchers, as well as graduates and professionals, who require a comprehensive introduction to the subject."--P. 4 of cover.

Drawing on reports published since 2005, this book is the only one to cover the latest advances concerning the properties of calixarenes of various structures, while highlighting their future applications in science and new technologies. Clearly divided into three main topic areas, this monograph deals with the synthesis of new calixarenes and their functionalization, properties and applications of such related compounds as resorcinarenes, cavitands, and capsules, as well as practical applications of the species considered.

Contributions featuring the chemistry and applications of a family of macrocyclic compounds collectively known as 'calixarenes' are presented in this edited volume. The arsenal of structures based on calixarenes provides tools which are effective in numerous areas of supramolecular chemistry. The Editors have compiled a timely volume which contains up to date, high calibre contributions from a large number of international authors. A broad perspective on the progress and future of calixarene chemistry is presented. Aimed at students and researchers active in Supramolecular Chemistry.

The inclusion of small guest molecules within suitable host compounds results in constrained systems that imbue novel properties upon the incarcerated organic substrates. Supramolecular tactics are becoming widely employed and this treatise spotlights them. Often, the impact of encapsulation on product formation is substantial. The use of constrained systems offers the means to steer reactions along desired pathways. A broad overview of various supramolecular approaches aimed to manipulate chemical reactions are featured. The following topics are covered in detail: - general concepts governing the assembly of the substrate with the reaction vessel - preparation of molecular reactors - stabilization of reactive intermediates - reactions in water, in organic solvents, and in the solid state - photochemical reactions - reactions with unusual regioselectivity Molecular Encapsulation: Organic Reactions in Constrained Systems is an essential guide to the art of changing the outcome and the selectivity of a chemical reaction using nano-sized reaction vessels. It will find a place on the bookshelves of students and researchers working in the areas of supramolecular chemistry, nanotechnology, organic and pharmaceutical chemistry, and materials science as well.
