Analytical Chemistry of Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Compounds

Crown ethers and calixarenes - the latter ones discovered only recently - are powerful complexing ligands for alkali and alkaline earth metals. This led to their immediate and wide-spread application in biosciences. This book is exclusively devoted to the very promising applications of these compounds in analytical chemistry. It focusses on solvent extraction, chromatography, spectroscopy and electroanalytical methods.
