This book provides an accessible and timely introduction to the exciting interdisciplinary field of supramolecular chemistry. Starting with the principles that explain how molecules recognize each other and self-assemble non-covalently, an overview is given how these concepts can be used to create complex supramolecular architectures. One thus learns how to design functional molecular systems that serve as switches, motors, transporters, catalysts, chemosensors and much more.

In 2022 this book won the Literature Prize of the German Chemical Industry Association VCI. For the full press release (in German): https://www.vci.de/fonds/presse-und-infos/pressemitteilungen/preisgeld-fuer-supramolekuele.jsp

Über Autor(innen)

Stefan Kubik studied chemistry at Heinrich-Heine-Universität in Düsseldorf and at King's College in London. He graduated in 1987 with a diploma thesis in the group of Prof. Dr. G. Wulff, and received his Ph.D. in 1992. In 1993 he spent one year as a post-doc in the group of Prof. J. Rebek Jr. at M.I.T. After returning to Düsseldorf in September 1994, he began investigations on the host-guest chemistry of cyclopeptides containing non-natural aromatic amino acid subunits. This work led to his Habilitation in April 2002. Between March 2003 and October 2004, he taught organic chemistry at Bergische Universität Wuppertal as a substitute professor. Since November 2004, he is full professor at Kaiserslautern University of Technology. He is an author of more than 100 publications.
