Molecular Engineering, Volume

Since 1982 there have been enormous developments in metal-based chemistry, particularly the emergence of supramolecular chemistry - chemistry beyond the molecule, molecular architecture, and molecular engineering. Comprehensive Supramolecular Chemistry was published in 1996, a survey which contains much of interest to coordination chemists. Consequently in this volume review material relating to supramolecular systems is mainly restricted to developments since 1990.

The existence of molecular free volume in amorphous plastics (and in part also in the amorphous zones of semi-crystalline polymers) has considerable influence on the engineering properties of these materials. 

In process engineering, moles are used extensively in performing (lie calculations. A mole is defined as that mass of a substance that is numen cally equal to its molecular weight. Avogadro s Law states that identical volumes of gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules for each gas. It can be reasoned that these identical volumes will have a weight proportional to the molecular weight of the gas. If the mass is expressed as...
