Kurzbeschreibung
Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit der schwachen Wechselwirkung zwischen zwei Bindungen, die wesentlich zur Gestalt und Reaktivität eines Moleküls beiträgt. Experimentelle Basis, theoretischer Hintergrund, Eigenschaften und Auswirkungen der CH-Pi-Wechselwirkung werden diskutiert und mit den Merkmalen anderer H-Bindungen verglichen. Ein systematisch angelegter Text zu einem hochaktuellen Thema! (07/98)
A systematic exploration of the fascinating area of CH/p interaction-from the frontier of chemical research
The CH/p bond may be the weakest of the hydrogen bonds, but it has been found to play important roles in the physical, chemical, and biological properties of a variety of substances. This book offers a complete overview of the experimental basis, theoretical background, and nature of the CH/p interaction to facilitate a clearer common understanding of the interaction between CH bonds and p-systems. Featured topics include:
* Evidence and methods of detection
* Quantum chemical treatment of CH/p interaction
* Comparison with other types of weak molecular interactions
* Conformational consequences
* Chiroptical properties
* Selectivity in organic reactions
* Crystal structures of clathrates
* Inclusion compounds
* Interligand interactions in coordination chemistry
* Specific interactions in protein structures
* Prospects and possibilities for use in biochemistry and materials science
The CH/p Interaction makes an important contribution to the understanding of weak intermolecular forces and their potential value to the biochemical and pharmaceutical sciences. It will be welcomed by physical and synthetic organic chemists; structural chemists; and pharmaceutical and biochemists.
