Supramolecular Chemistry

An excellent primer for anyone intending to give a short course on supramolecular chemistry to final year undergraduates. * Peter Cragg, Reader in Supramolecular Chemistry and Bioinorganic Chemistry, University of Brighton *If you want an introductory accessible guide to supramolecular chemistry that will teach you something and test your knowledge simultaneously, look no further… * Jennifer Hiscock, Reader in Supramolecular Chemistry and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, University of Kent *Wide coverage, excellent detail and good examples. Invaluable for delivering an undergraduate course on supramolecular chemistry. * Neil Champness, Norman Haworth Professor of Chemistry, University of Birmingham *

Paul Beer obtained a PhD from King’s College London in 1982 with Dr C. Dennis Hall. After a Royal Society European Postdoctoral Fellowship with Professor J.-M. Lehn and a Demonstratorship at the University of Exeter, he was awarded a Lectureship at the University of Birmingham in 1984. In 1990, he moved to the University of Oxford as a University Lecturer and Fellow at Wadham College, and became a Professor in 1998. His research interests focus on supramolecularhost-guest chemistry and coordination chemistry.

Jason Y. C. Lim obtained his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2017 under the supervision of Professor Paul D. Beer. After a postdoctoral stint at thesame institution with Professor Charlotte K. Williams on supramolecular polymerisation catalysis, he took up a position as a research scientist at the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), Singapore. His research interests centre around the development of next-generation sustainable supramolecular materials, green catalysis and self-assembled hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Timothy Barendt was awarded his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2016, for research onmolecular machines with Professor Paul Beer. This was followed by a Junior Research Fellowship, also at the University of Oxford (Christ Church), during which he worked on the supramolecular chemistry ofcarbon nanomaterials. In 2019 Timothy was appointed to a Lectureship at the University of Birmingham. His research interests include mechanically interlocked molecules, supramolecular sensors and organic electronic materials.
