This book provides a comprehensive summary of current research in metallomacrocycles. Starting with an introduction to metallomacrocycles constructed via coordination-driven self-assembly, the book then goes on to explore design principles and self-organization. Subsequent chapters then discuss examples of complex and functional metallosupramolecular systems based on metallomacrocycles such as chiral systems and mechanically interlocked architectures. Finally, the book discusses the applications of metallomacrocycles.
An essential resource for students and researchers looking to design and construct new metallosupramolecular systems and extend their applications in biological and materials science.
Hai-Bo Yang obtained his PhD degree at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICCAS) in Beijing in 2004. Then he joined Professor Peter J. Stang’s group at the University of Utah as a Postdoctoral Fellow. Since the end of 2008, he has started his independent research as a PI at East China Normal University in Shanghai. Prof. Yang’s research interests span the areas of organic, organometallic, and supramolecular chemistry.
