Macrocycles: Construction, Chemistry and Nanotechnology Applications is an essential introduction to this important class of molecules and describes how to synthesize them, their chemistry, how they can be used as nanotechnology building blocks, and their applications. A wide range of structures synthesized over the past few decades are covered, from the simpler cyclophanes and multi-ring aromatic structures to vases, bowls, cages and more complex multi-ring systems and 3D architectures such as “pumpkins”, interlocking chains and knots. Some of the molecular classes covered include simple ring compounds, three dimensional aliphatic carbon structures, annulenes, multi-ring aromatic structures, porphyrins and phthalocyanines, cyclophanes, crown ethers, cryptands, spherands, calixarenes, resorcinarenes, cavitands, carcerands, heterocalixarenes, calixnaphthalenes, cyclodextins, cyclotriveratylenes, cryptophanes, cucurbituris, rotaxanes and catenanes.
The scientific interest for this botanical group has run parallel to its economical importance, and research achievements in our days would have certainly appeared unimaginable only two decades ago. As the end of the millenium approaches, entirely new fields (transformation, somatic fusion, etc.) have been added to the classical ones. Thus, nobody can doubt the opportuneness of this book, which combines and presents both the basic and applied biological aspects of the Brassica species.
In writing the present book I have had in mind the following objectives:
It may sound like big words, but in the case of Excel – or spreadsheet programs in general – it is quite true. Spreadsheets can process large amounts of data and give you the calculation results in no time. And when the calculations are made, you can have them presented as beautiful tables and graphs
