Fresh ideas have always been a necessary ingredient for progress in chemistry. Without a continuous supply of stimulating ideas from creative researchers, there would be no new insights into the subject. But what are some of the ideas that pervade modern chemistry? The answer to this question is to be found in "Stimulating Concepts in Chemistry". In a collection of 24 essays, a group of leading researchers provides an overview of the most recent developments in their fields. Readers can find out about modern concepts in chemistry such as, self-assembly, nanochemistry, and molecular machines. Moreover, many spectacular advances have been achieved from the fusion of chemistry with life and materials science - a development which is illustrated by contributions on enzyme mimics, molecular wires, and chemical sensors. Further, the essayists write about new nanomaterials, efficient methods in synthesis, and big biomolecules - indeed, many of the topics that have dominated some of the recent discussions in chemistry. This outstanding text makes use of a special layout to reflect the editors' aim of presenting concepts in the form of essays.
Thus, the book is not merely another source of knowledge but is intended to stimulate readers to develop their own ideas and concepts. This format should help to make the book interesting to a wide range of scientists. Students of chemistry will benefit from the different style of presentation of their subject, while researchers in industry and academia will welcome the exciting way in which some of the most challenging concepts in modern chemistry are presented.
Fritz Vogtle was born in Ehingen, Germany in 1939. He studied chemistry in Freiburg as well as chemistry and medicine in Heidelberg, where he received his PhD under Professor Hein A. Staab in 1965 on the valence isomerization of double Schiff bases. After gaining his lecturing qualification, he was a professor in Wurzburg from 1969 to 1975, before accepting a position as full professor and director of the Kekule-Institut for Organische Chemie und Biochemie in Bonn. He was awarded a literature prize by the Fonds der Chemischen Industrie, the LIse Meitner-Alexander von Humboldt Award, the Izatt-Bradshaw-Christensen Award for Macrocyclic Chemistry and the Adolf von Baeyer medal of the German Chemical Society, as well as an honorary doctorate from the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. He has authored or co-authored several books and numerous scientific papers. Professor Vogtle's research interests include supramolecular and nano chemistry, dendrimers, cyclophanes, low molecular weight gelators and intertwined molecular architectures. James Fraser Stoddart, FRS, FRSE, FRSC is a Scottish-born chemist who is Board of Trustees Professor of Chemistry and head of the Stoddart Mechanostereochemistry Group in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University in the U.S. His interests include the areas of supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology.
