Supramolecular Assemblies of Cucurbit[n]urils with Metal Ions

Download or read book Supramolecular Assemblies of Cucurbit[n]urils with Metal Ions written by Xin-Long Ni and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows the various porous structures and supramolecular architectures that result from the cucurbituril-based coordination, hydrogen bonding, ion-dipole interactions, π∙∙∙π stacking and C–H∙∙∙π processes. It includes two chapters presenting essential examples of these cucurbituril-based structures, depending on the types of non covalent interactions and inducer species. It also includes one chapter dealing with the utilization of cucurbiturils as a molecular container in supramolecular chemistry and demonstrating a wide range of potential applications of supramolecular assemblies with cucurbiturils in catalysis, separation, absorption and polymer materials. The book offers an interesting and valuable guide for readers working in the areas of supramolecular chemistry and materials.
