This book is an up-to-date text covering topics in utilizing hydrogen
bonding for constructing functional architectures and supramolecular
materials. The first chapter addresses the control of photo-induced
electron and energy transfer. The second chapter summarizes the
formation of nano-porous materials. The following two chapters introduce
self-assembled gels, many of which exhibit unique functions. Other
chapters cover the advances in supramolecular liquid crystals and the
versatility of hydrogen bonding in tuning/improving the properties and
performance of materials.
This book is designed to bring together in a single volume the most
important and active fields of hydrogen bonding strategy for designing
supramolecular materials. The book will be a valuable resource for
graduates and researchers working in the fields of supramolecular
chemistry and materials sciences.
