Dynamic combinatorial chemistry seeks to meet this challenge by combining
aspects of design (molecular engineering) with the selection approach inherent
in self assembly. In dynamic combinatorialchemistry, building blocks

The theory, methods, and practices needed to build moleculesand supramolecular systems Using a synthetic approach to organic materials chemistry, thisbook sets forth tested and proven methods and practices that makeit possible to engineer organic molecules offering specialproperties and functions. Throughout the book, plenty of real-worldexamples demonstrate the countless possibilities of creatingone-of-a-kind molecules and supramolecular systems to support abroad range of applications. The book explores applications in bothmaterials and bioorganic chemistry, including molecularelectronics, energy storage, sensors, nanomedicine, and enzymeengineering. Organic Synthesis and Molecular Engineering consists offourteen chapters, each one contributed by one or more leadinginternational experts in the field. The contributions are based ona thorough review and analysis of the current literature as well asthe authors' firsthand experience in the lab engineering neworganic molecules. Designed as a practical lab reference, the bookoffers: Tested and proven synthetic approaches to organic materialschemistry Methods and practices to successfully engineer functionalityinto organic molecules Explanations of the principles and concepts underlyingself-assembly and supramolecular chemistry Guidance in selecting appropriate structural units used in thedesign and synthesis of functional molecules and materials Coverage of the full range of applications in materials andbioorganic chemistry A full chapter on graphene, a new topic generating intenseresearch Organic Synthesis and Molecular Engineering begins withcore concepts, molecular building blocks, and synthetic tools.Next, it explores molecular electronics, supramolecular chemistryand self-assembly, graphene, and photoresponsive materialsengineering. In short, it offers everything researchers need tofully grasp the underlying theory and then build new molecules andsupramolecular systems.
