Mechanically Interlocked Materials

This book surveys mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs) and mechanically interlocked materials (MIMats), an emerging area within supramolecular chemistry. It is meant as a single, wide-ranging resource on the field and gives a thorough overview of both topics.

The volume is edited by Emilio Perez, described as one of the pioneers of the field. It is aimed at students and professionals across several scientific disciplines, including organic, inorganic, supramolecular and physical chemistry, physics, materials science and nanotechnology.
