This volume provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art account, exclusively devoted to the analytical chemistry of Macrocyclic (crown ethers), macrobicyclic (cryptands) and the Supramolecular compounds (calixarene and calyx(n) resocrineremeand Rotaxanes). These compounds having a great deal of similarity in their chemical characteristics have direct application in biosciences, analytical chemistry, solvent extraction, chromatography, spectroscopy and ion selective electrodes. New to the Second Edition: Chapters on: · Chromogenic Crownethers in Solvent Extraction describing the Classification, Synthesis and Applications in extractive photometry. · Rotaxane Synthesis and Characteristics describing structure of the mainframe work with linear support with Supramolecular compound as the central wheel with stoppers for clipping.
