Caging

Explores the lives of Aborigines in the small town of Katherine, Australia. Merlan combines ethnography and theory to study issues surrounding the debate about the authenticity of contemporary cultural activity.

Authors: Voloshin, Yan, Belaya, Irina, Krämer, Roland
An exhaustive summary of cage compounds and their chemistry, summarizing synthesis and introducing reactivity and applications
Contains over 850 literature references, clearly represented in over 600 schemes and illustrations
Clearly structured: separated chapters for each type of caging ligands (covalent, supramolecular, and coordination capsules), ordered by ligand classes and types of encapsulated species (cations, anions and neutral molecules)

This fundamental book presents the most comprehensive summary of the current state of the art in the chemistry of cage compounds. It introduces different ways of how ions and molecules can be encapsulated by three-dimensional caging ligands to form molecular and polymeric species: covalent, supramolecular, and coordination capsules.
