Perspectives in Supramolecular Chemistry relates developments and exciting approaches in supramolecular chemistry. In supramolecular chemistry, our aim is to understand molecular chemistry beyond the covalent bond – this set of books concentrates on goal-orientated supramolecular chemistry and reflect research which develops supramolecular structures with specific new properties, such as recognition, transport and simulation of biosystems or new materials. The series covers all areas from theoretical and modelling aspects through organic and inorganic chemistry and biochemistry to materials, solid-state and polymer sciences reflecting the many and varied applications of supramolecular structures in modern chemistry.

Arno Behr was born in 1952 in Aachen, Germany. He received his Diploma in chemistry from RWTH Aachen University and fi nished his PhD in 1979 under supervision of Prof. Willi Keim. After being employed at Henkel KGaA he is a full Professor of Technical Chemistry at Dortmund University, Germany since 1996. Since 35 years his research interests cover homogeneous transition-metal catalysis, conversion of petrochemicals and renewables and catalyst recycling. During the last 30 years he became an experienced lecturer, held GDCh- and Dechema lectures and was involved in several advanced master and PhD courses.
