Structure of Molecules and Assemblies

A broad overview is presented about the importance of molecular structure determination and about the structural considerations that come in view when molecular units build assemblies. Structural chemistry and crystallography constitute an integral part of today\u27s supramolecular chemistry as demonstrated by various statements of giants of the field. The challenge of supramolecular chemistry to the structural chemist is in detecting and understanding the structural changes accompanyingmolecular recognition and assembly formation and in providing assistance for the design of new assemblies and molecular devices with desired properties

New York scientific: a culture of inquiry, knowledge, and learning

This book introduces the reader to the visible memorabilia of science and scientists in all the five boroughs of New York City—statues, busts, plaques, buildings, and other artifacts. In addition, it extends to some scientists and institutions currently operating in the city. New York is a world center of commerce, finance, communications, transportation, and culture, and it is also a world center in science. It is home to worldrenowned universities and research laboratories, a museum of natural history and other museums related to science, a science academy, historical societies, botanical gardens and zoos, libraries, and a hall of science as well as a large number of world-renowned scientists. The eight chapters of the book cover the following areas. 1 Explorers and Naturalists; 2 Scientists and Innovators; 3 Learning: A sampler of high schools and some of their famous graduates; 4 Aiming Higher in Education: Colleges of City University and New York University; 5 City of Medicine: Biomedical research, teaching, and clinical institutions; 6 The Rockefeller University; 7 Columbia University; and 8 Roaming the Streets: Memorabilia related to science in public places. The book, illustrated by over eight hundred photographs, will induce the readers to make their own discoveries in New York
