Just as supermolecules are held together by supramolecular interactions, mechanomolecules, such as catenanes and rotaxanes, are maintained by mechanical bonds. This emergent bond endows mechanomolecules with a whole suite of novel properties relating to both form and function. They hold unlimited promise for countless applications, ranging from their presence in molecular devices and electronics to their involvement in remarkably advanced functional materials. \u003ci\u003eThe Nature of the Mechanical Bond\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive review of much of the contemporary literature on the mechanical bond, accessible to newcomers and veterans alike. Topics covered include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupramolecular, covalent, and statistical approaches to the formation of entanglements that underpin mechanical bonds in molecules and macromolecules\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eKinetically and thermodynamically controlled strategies for synthesizing mechanomolecules\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChemical topology, molecular architectures, polymers, crystals, and materials with mechanical bonds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe stereochemistry of the mechanical bond (mechanostereochemistry), including the novel types of dynamic and static isomerism and chirality that emerge in mechanomolecules\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eArtificial molecular switches and machines based on the large-amplitude translational and rotational motions expressed by suitably designed catenanes and rotaxanes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis contemporary and highly interdisciplinary field is summarized in a visually appealing, image-driven format, with more than 800 illustrations covering both fundamental and applied research. \u003ci\u003eThe Nature of the Mechanical Bond\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for everyone, from students to experienced researchers, with an interest in chemistry’s latest and most non-canonical bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarson J. Bruns\u003c\/b\u003e is a Miller Research Fellow in the College of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. He attended Luther College (2004–2008) where he earned degrees in chemistry, religion, and mathematics. He received a PhD in organic chemistry from Northwestern University (2008–2013), where he was a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow. Researching in the United States, Thailand, Korea, and Japan, he has co-authored more than 30 publications which have collectively been cited more than 1000 times. His research interests span all aspects of the mechanical bond, from fundamental science to applied chemical technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ. Fraser Stoddart \u003c\/b\u003eis a Board of Trustees Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University. By playing a major role in introducing the mechanical bond into molecules, he is one of the few contemporary chemists to have contributed to the opening up of an entirely new field of chemistry. He has pioneered the development of bistable mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) for use in molecular electronic devices and drug delivery vehicles. In 2016 he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Jean-Pierre Sauvage and Ben Feringa for the design and synthesis of molecular machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07 November 2016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781119044000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e784\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e83.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315349581964,"sku":"9781119044000","price":224.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781119044000_7cbd861f-0df5-4a51-9bcc-112189325504.jpg?v=1780107559","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781119044000","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
