Modern Cyclophane Chemistry

edited by Rolf Gleiter
and Henning Hopf

This reference presents an excellent overview of all the important aspects and latest results in cyclophane chemistry. Clearly structured and covering the entire range, it 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
• Current and future applications in synthesis and material science
• Novel reactions of cyclophanes

Thus, Modern Cyclophane Chemistry 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 biorganic chemistry.
