Dendritic Molecules Concepts Syntheses Perspectives Author:George R. Newkome, Charles N. Moorefield, Fritz Vögtle The first book on dendrimers! — The authors, pioneers in this scientific field, describe basic principles and current developments in the rapidly evolving field of dendrimer research. All aspects of the subject are covered: the authors provide a historical overview, theoretical background, and discussions of the synthesis and applications of dend... more »rimers. The book thus spans organic chemistry and more application-orientated disciplines like material science and pharmaceutical chemistry. The excellent, detailed list of references further increases the value of the book. The optimal presentation of the structural formulas of dendrimers - highly symmetrical giant molecules - helps the reader understand the sophisticated synthesis quickly.
This book will set the standard for further monographs on this subject.« less
