Wiley Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-Like Elements, Volume 9: Supramolecular and Self-Assembled Metal-Containing Materials: 09

Volume 9 in a scientific research series, covering macromolecules This book, Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-like Elements, presents research developments in the study of: supramolecular chemistry, supramolecular architecture and supramolecular self-assemblies. The topics addressed involve materials containing metals and metal-like elements as well as the possible applications of hybrid materials. The volume offers a broad series of coverage with conclusions and perspectives for the various areas covered. Review "The strength of the book lies in the breadth of the coverage in terms of both the variety of areas and the rigor of how each area is treated. The book is suitable for a wide audience and will serve as an important addition to the library of anyone that seeks to be at the forefront of the area."
