ORGANIC NANOCHEMISTRY

How-to guide for entry-level practitioners to quickly learn the cutting-edge research concepts and methodologies of modern organic nanochemistry

Organic Nanochemistry describes the fundamentals of organic nanochemistry research, encompassing modern synthetic reactions, supramolecular strategies, nanostructure and property characterization techniques, and state-of-the-art data analysis and processing methods, along with synthetic chemistry as applied to organic nanomaterials and molecular devices. Accompanying each of these principles are case studies (from basic design to detailed experimental implementation) to help the reader fully comprehend the concepts and methods involved.

Various theories suitable for nanoscale simulations, including quantum mechanics, semi-empirical quantum mechanics, and molecular dynamics theories, are discussed at an introductory level. Computational examples are provided, allowing interested readers to grasp essential modelling techniques for better understanding of organic nanochemistry.

The content is paired with online supplementary material that includes instructional materials and guides to using common scientific software for computational modelling and simulations.

Written by a highly qualified professor, Organic Nanochemistry includes discussion on:

* Key concepts and theories of organic chemistry, which are essential to understand the fundamental properties of organic molecular and supramolecular systems

* Useful synthetic methodologies for the synthesis and functionalization of organic nanomaterials, and the chemistry and application of exotic carbon nanomaterials

* Supramolecular aspects in organic nanochemistry, especially the well-developed disciplines of host-guest chemistry and organic self-assembly chemistry

* Construction and testing of molecular devices and molecular machines and state-of-the-art computational modelling methods for properties of nanoscale organic systems

Guiding the reader on a journey from familiar chemical concepts and principles to cutting-edge research of nano-science and technology, Organic Nanochemistry serves as an excellent textbook learning resource for advanced and graduate students, as well as a self-study guide or how-to reference for practicing chemists.
