An overview of the techniques used to examine supramolecular aggregates from a methodological point of view edited by a rising star in the community and an experienced author this is a definitive survey of useful modern analytical methods for understanding supramolecular chemistry from nmr to single molecule spectroscopy from electron microscopy to extraction methods. The second edition of analytical methods in supramolecular chemistry comes in two volumes and covers a broad range of modern methods and techniques now used for investigating supramolecular systems e g nmr spectroscopy mass spectrometry extraction methods crystallography single molecule spectroscopy electrochemisty and many more. An overview of the techniques used to examine supramolecular aggregates from a methodological point of view edited by a rising star in the community and an experienced author this is a definitive survey of useful modern analytical methods for understanding supramolecular chemistry from nmr to single molecule spectroscopy from electron microscopy to extraction methods. Before going into detail with respect to the analytical methods that are applied in contemporary supramolecular chemistry this brief introduction to some basic concepts and research topics within supramolecular chemistry is intended to pro vide the reader with some background of course it is not possible to give a com prehensive overview
