Molecular Recognition and Inclusion

This volume contains the proceedings of ISMRI 9, held in Lyon, France, in 1996. It presents articles on the developing field of molecular interactions, molecular recognition, crystal engineering and structural determination of complex molecular systems. The approaches described are interdisciplinary in nature, reflecting the concept of the ISMRI series of symposia. This work should be of interest to researchers in chemistry, biology and physics, whose work involves molecular recognition, molecular interactions, supramolecular chemistry and inclusion systems.
