Macrocyclic compounds in analytical chemistry

Macrocycles are an important class of reagents in modern analytical chemistry because of their high selectivity. Macrocyclic chemistry is still a relatively new field, but as research progresses, the volume of data about macrocycles and their analytical applications continues to grow at a breathtaking pace. Written for analytical chemists who need to keep abreast of state-of-the-art applied macrocyclic chemistry, this groundbreaking volume presents the findings of chemists from around the world who have devoted themselves to the study of macrocycles. Macrocyclic Compounds in Analytical Chemistry covers all classes of macrocyclic compounds. Two chapters that will be of general interest across all analytical specialties are those treating the synthesis of macrocyclic compounds and complexation and selectivity. Macrocyclic Compounds in Analytical Chemistry is a valuable reference for research and practicing analytical chemists as well as inorganic chemists specializing in hydrometallurgy and extraction. It will also be of interest to organic and theoretical chemists interested in the practical applications of organic, synthetic macrocycles.
