Cyclophanes / François Diederich.

Cyclophanes are bridged aromatic compounds and represent the central class of synthetic receptors in molecular recognition. All types of substrates, from inorganic and organic cations and anions, to neutral molecules have been complexed by tailor-made cyclophanes. This monograph focuses on the princ...
