The present book has been designed to cover the basic and fundamental aspects of supramolecular interactions,molecular recognition and development of molecular devices. The book has been prepared to meet the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate chemistry students.
Highlights of the Book

Concept of supramolecular chemistry
Different types of noncovalent interactions in supramolecular systems
Basic principles of molecular recognitions and formation of supramolecular assemblies
Guest–host spatial relationship
Different types of hosts (i.e.receptors)
Biological supramolecular systems
Cooperativity and complementarity in guest binding
Cation recognition and cation binding hosts — podands,corands,cryptands,spherands,torands
Anion coordination
Anion recognition and anion binding hosts — polyazamacrocycles, positively charged cyclophanes, urea and
