Publisher Description: "The story is told by THE inventor-pioneer-master in the field and is accompanied by amazing illustrations... it] will become an absolute reference and a best seller in chemistry " Alberto Credi "... the great opus on the mechanical bond. A most impressive undertaking " Jean-Marie Lehn In molecules, the mechanical bond is not shared between atoms--it is a bond that arises when molecular entities become entangled in space. Just as supermolecules are held together by supramolecular interactions, mechanomolecules, such as catenanes and rotaxanes, are maintained by mechanical bonds. This emergent bond endows mechanomolecules with a whole suite of novel properties relating to both form and function. They hold unlimited promise for countless applications, ranging from their presence in molecular devices and electronics to their involvement in remarkably advanced functional materials. The Nature of the Mechanical Bond is a comprehensive review of much of the contemporary literature on the mechanical bond, accessible to newcomers and veterans alike. Topics covered include:
