A new book on supramolecular chemistry and molecular machines collects papers and discussions from the 21st Solvay Conference on Chemistry, held Nov. 28-Dec. 1, 2007. From Non-Covalent Assemblies to Molecular Machines, J. P. Sauvage (Editor), Pierre Gaspard (Editor):
… collects review articles from the six topics of the conference, while also including comments, discussions and debates obtained during the conference.
The issues discussed at this landmark conference were:
- Noncovalent Assemblies: Design and Synthesis
- Template Synthesis of Catenanes and Rotaxanes
- Molecular Machines Based on Catenanes and Rotaxanes
- Molecular Machines Based on Non-Interlocking Molecules
- Towards Molecular Logics and Artificial Photosynthesis
- From Single Molecules to Practical Devices
In addition, and this is probably the most novel feature of the book, comments, discussions and debate will constitute a substantial part of each chapter, in accordance with the tradition of Solvay Conferences.
