Molecular Machines

The chapters in this volume describe bottom-up strategies and chronicle cutting-edge advances from several of the world's leading laboratories engaged in the development of molecular machines.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2016 was awarded jointly to Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Bernard L. Feringa "for the design and synthesis of molecular machines".
Both Jean-Pierre Sauvage and Sir J. Fraser Stoddart have also contributed to this book.

This series presents critical reviews of the present position and future trends in modern chemical research. Short and concise reports on chemistry, each written by the world renowned experts. Still valid and useful after 5 or 10 years. More information as well as the electronic version of the whole content available at: springerlink.com
