Comprehensive Supramolecular Chemistry, Volume 8

The characterization of supramolecular compounds in terms of their stoichiometry, structure and binding properties is a necessary pre-requisite to the understanding of their remarkable selectivity towards guests. The diversity of systems covered by the term "supramolecular" requires the use of an extremely varied range of physical techniques. This volume gives detailed coverage of the physical methods used, reporting not only on the results but also outlining the theoretical and experimental aspects for each technique.
