Organic Nanoreactors‎:‎ From Molecular to Supramolecular Organic Compounds provides a unique overview of synthetic‎,‎ porous organic compounds containing a cavity which can encapsulate one or more guest‎(‎s‎)‎‎.‎ Confined space within a nanoreactor can isolate the guest‎(‎s‎)‎ from the bulk and effectively influence the reaction inside the nanoreactor‎.‎ Naturally occurring enzymes are compelling catalysts for selective reactions as their three‎-dimensional structures build up clefts‎,‎ caves‎,‎ or niches in which the active site is located‎.‎ Additionally‎,‎ reactive sites carrying special functional groups allow only specific reagents to react in a particular way‎,‎ to lead to specific enantiomers as products‎.‎ Equipped with suitable functional groups‎,‎ then‎,‎ nanoreactors form a new class of biomimetic compounds‎,‎ which have multiple important applications in the synthesis of nanomaterials‎,‎ catalysis‎,‎ enzyme immobilization‎,‎ enzyme therapy‎,‎ and more‎.‎ This book addresses various synthetic‎,‎ organic nanoreactors‎,‎ updating the previous decade of research and examining recent advances in the topic for the first comprehensive overview of this exciting group of compounds‎,‎ and their practical applications‎.‎ Bringing in the Editor‎'‎s experience in both academic research and industrial applications‎,‎ Organic Nanoreactors focuses on the properties and applications of well‎-known as well as little‎-examined nanoreactor compounds and materials and includes brief overviews of synthetic routes and characterization methods‎.‎
