Riassunto

Comprehensive resource on an important and fascinating compound class, covering synthesis, properties, functionalization, and applications in organic synthesis, materials science, and more

The Chemistry of Diamondoids gives a state-of-the-art overview of all aspects of diamondoid chemistry, covering nomenclature, natural occurrence, chemical and physical properties, along with synthesis and functionalization of diamondoids as well as their applications as molecular building blocks in organic synthesis, polymer and materials science, nanotechnology, and medicinal chemistry. The book concludes with a perspective towards future developments in the field, thereby drawing attention to areas open for discovery.

Written by experts in the field, The Chemistry of Diamondoids includes information on:

• Naturally occurring diamondoids, their formation, and the role they play in the petroleum industry and in geosciences, plus man-made approaches to prepare them on large scale
• Growing diamond from diamondoids via seeding, preparation and properties of diamondoid oligomers and doped diamondoids
• C–H-bond functionalization, a precondition for their use in many applications, and fine-tuning of diamondoid properties by precise cage substitution reactions

With its all-encompassing approach, The Chemistry of Diamondoids is a valuable guide for newcomers and researchers in organic chemistry and materials science interested in modern synthetic methods and organic functional materials.

Informazioni sull?autore

Prof. Andrey A. Fokin is Full Professor and Head of the Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology at National Technical University "Igor Sikorsky Kiyv Polytechnic Institute" (Ukraine). He has been a visiting professor at the Universities of Minnesota and Georgia (USA) as well as in Giessen (Germany). His research mostly concentrates on the combination of computational and experimental studies with applications in organic, physical-organic, medical, agricultural chemistry and nanotechnology.

Dr. Marina Sekutor is senior research associate in the Division of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Ruder Boskovic Institute (Zagreb, Croatia). She was a postdoctoral Alexander-von-Humboldt fellow in the group of Prof. Schreiner at the Justus Liebig University Giessen (Germany) and a visiting scientist at the University of Maryland (USA). Her research interests include supramolecular host-guest chemistry of polycyclic compounds and the use of diamondoid derivatives in materials science.

Prof. Peter R. Schreiner is Professor of Organic Chemistry and Liebig-Chair at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at Justus Liebig University Giessen (Germany). His research interests include organic reaction dynamics and reactive intermediates, quantum mechanical tunneling as well as London dispersion interactions as probed in the realm of nanodiamonds and organocatalysis. He is an Editor for the Journal of Computational Chemistry, WIRES - Computational Molecular Sciences, and the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry.
