The supramolecular chemistry of organic-inorganichybrid materials

The book introduces the main design considerations, inorganic materials, functionalisation strategies, signaling mechanisms and modes of operation that arise from developing organic-inorganic hybrid materials on the background of association schemes and recognition mechanisms that have been proposed and realized in supramolecular chemistry in the past decades. The inorganic materials covered can be deduced from the working titles given in the Table under 10. and include two-dimensional objects such as nanoparticles as well as regular and non-regular porous materials with three-dimensional voids. Functionalisation with organic moieties will then stretch from simple passivation strategies via modified dye or redox-active compounds to switchable and addressable molecules,including mono-, bi- or multistep procedures. The book will discuss how thesedesigned materials can improve existing or generate novel functional featuressuch as chemical amplification, cooperative binding and signal enhancement that are difficult or not at all achievable by classical organic supramolecular chemistry or organic as well as inorganic materials. Issues related to nanofabrication or nanotechnology such as directed and controlled assembly or disassembly, biomimetic functions or gated hostguest chemistry will also be intensively highlighted. Two special chapters at the end will be more anticipatory and discuss future possibilities and potential trends in two highly topical areas of nanochemistry.
