Wiley Modern Cyclophane Chemistry

Here, the editors Rolf Gleiter and Henning Hopf present an excellent overview of all the important aspects and latest results in cyclophane chemistry. Clearly structured and covering the entire range, the book introduces readers to the most recent research in the field. Twenty chapters, written by well-known scientists, cover in particular: - synthesis of carbo- and heterocyclic cyclophanes and metallocenophanes, - structural and spectroscopic properties of cyclophanes, - current and future applications in synthesis and material science, - novel reactions of cyclophanes, - use of cyclophanes as building blocks in supramolecular chemistry for this fascinating class of compounds. Thus, this is not only an extremely valuable source of information for synthetic organic chemists, but also a ready reference for scientists working in related fields of arene chemistry, stereoselective synthesis, material science, and bioorganic chemistry. Review "Overall, it was a pleasant experience to read and review this excellent, exciting, yet rounded monograph about cyclophane chemistry, which should be bought by interested graduate students and university teachers. The book should be in every library. Both the editors, as well as the authors of the individual chapters, did an excellent job in the creation of this opus." Angewandte Chemie I.E."Den Herausgebern und den Autoren ist ein groÃes Werk gelungen, das Chemikern in Forschung und Lehre, aber auch fortgeschrittenen Studierenden sehr zu empfehlen ist und in jeder Bibliothek der organischen Chemie zu finden sein sollte."

About the Author Born in 1940, Henning Hopf is Director of the Institute for Organic Chemistry at the TU Braunschweig. After studying chemistry in Goettingen and at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where he gained his doctorate 1967, he qualified as a professor in 1972 at the University of Karlsruhe. Three years later he was offered a chair at the University of Wuerzburg and from there followed
