Chemosensors

A thorough, accessible, and general overview of chemosensors

Providing a comprehensive overview of chemosensors--organic
molecules designed to bind and sense small molecules or metal
ions--and their applications, Chemosensors: Principles,
Strategies, and Applications is an accessible one-stop resource for
analysts, clinicians, and graduate students studying advanced
chemistry and chemosensing.

Chemosensors function on a molecular level, generating a signal
upon binding. The book reviews their synthesis, design, and
applications for detecting biological and organic molecules as well
as metal ions. The text highlights applications in drug discovery
and catalyses that have not been well covered elsewhere.

Covering such topics as molecular recognition, detection
methods, design strategies, and important biological issues, the
book is broken into four sections that examine intermolecular
interactions, strategies in sensor design, detection methods, and
case studies in metal, saccharide, and amino acid sensing.

An indispensable source of information for chemical and
biomedical experts using sensors, Chemosensors includes case
studies to make the material both accessible and understandable to
chemists of all backgrounds.
