Like the currently popular area, called nanoscience , the field of supramolecular chemistry has rather hazy boundaries. Indeed, both areas now share much common ground in terms of the types of systems that are considered. From the beginning, electrochemistry, which provides a powerful complement to spectroscopic techniques, has played an important role in characterizing such systems and this very useful book goes considerably beyond the volume on this same topic by Kaifer and Gomez-Kaifer that was published about 10 years ago. Some of the classic supramolecular chemistry topics such as rotaxanes, catenanes, host-guest interactions, dendrimers, and self-assembled monolayers remain, but now with important extensions into the realms of fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and biomolecules, like DNA.

This chapter has endeavored to present approaches to the preparation of C-glycosides utilizing the chemistry of free radicals. Through the use of intermolecular and intramolecular reactions, a variety of novel structures are available. Further insight into the variations available within this technology, reviewed by Descotes,29 include discussions of the kinetics of radical systems and topics complimenting the specific realm of C-glycosides.

Charles 1. Wilkins is currently a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville). His interests inclnde mass spectrometry of polymer and copolymer materials, Fourier transform mass spectrometry, and the development of new methods to improve the utility of analytical mass spectrometry. Past research has dealt with applications of laboratory computers in chemistry, graph theoretic analysis of chemical problems, and research in chemometrics. Investigations of hyphenated analytical systems such as gas chromatography-infrared mass spectrometry and HPLC-NMR have also been of interest. He is the author of more than 235 scientific papers and 21 book chapters, in addition to editing eight books on a variety of chemistry topics. 

The study of any physical chemistry topics requires mathematics. Galileo once wrote, The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics. We will use mathematics in two different ways. First, we will use it to describe the behavior of systems without explaining the origin of the behavior. Second, we will use it to develop theories that explain why certain behaviors occur. This chapter is an example of the first usage, and the next chapter is an example of the second usage. 

The self-assembly of alkanethiols on gold has been an important topic in surface chemistry over die last few years [39] and STM has contributed significantly to our understanding of these systems. In particular, the... 

Almost all aspects of the field of chemistry involve tire flow of energy eitlier witliin or between molecules. Indeed, tire occurrence of a chemical reaction between two species implies tire availability of some minimum amount of energy in tire reacting system. The study of energy transfer processes is tluis a topic of fundamental importance in chemistry. Energy transfer in gases is of particular interest partly because very sophisticated methods have been developed to study such events and partly because gas phase processes lend tliemselves to very complete and detailed tlieoretical analysis. 

More than 10 000 databases exist that provide a small or large amount of data on various topics (including chemistry). The contents in databases are supplied by approximately 3500 database developers (e.g., the Chemical Abstracts Service, MDL Information Systems, etc.). Since there is a variety of topics from economics to science, as well as a variety of structures of the database, only some of the vendors (-2000) offer one or more databases as either local or as online databases (Figure 5-4) [4]. Usually, databases are provided by hosts that permit direct access to more than one database. The search occurs primarily through different individual soft-...

Tlie first two chapters in this volume continue the survey of heteroaromatic tautomerism that was the topic of Volume 76 of Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry. Tliis whole subject was first dealt with comprehensively in Volumes 1 and 2 of our series, which date back to 1963 and 1964.Tlie area was updated in a special supplementary volume of the series that appeared in 1976 but is now seriously out of date. Tire chapters in Volume 76 deal with a general introduction and the tautomerism of tive-membered monocyclic rings systems. 

Papers dealing with this topic are exhaustively reviewed in Comprehensive Heterocyclic Chemistry I (84CHEC-I(6)235) and II (96CHEC-II(3)373). Nevertheless, little information is available on the 5-oxides. Recently, the heteroaromaticity of thiazole compared with isothiazole and thiadiazole 5,5-dioxide systems was studied (97MI1). Quantum-chemical calculations and X-ray studies were performed on 3,3 -di[l,3-thiazolidin-4-one] derivatives (95JCC(25)589) studied for their potential biological activity (97FA(52)43).
