A concise introduction and critical review of the field of bridged aromatic compounds. Surveys the syntheses, stereochemistry and unusual reactions of these compounds, whereby the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary contexts and beauty of the molecular architecture are shown and emphasized. Commences with nomenclature; introduces strained hydrocarbons; discusses transannular steric and electronic effects; considers larger ring cyclophanes; concludes with calixarenes, spherands, porphyrinophanes, naturally occurring, exotic and multilayered phanes. Features a contemporary study on topical cyclophane host compounds.
The text is based on a series of lectures given at Bonn University and entitled "Modern Methods, Reactions and Structures in Organic Chemistry", "Recent Results and Problems in Organic Chemistry" and "New Molecules and Reactions in Organic, Bio-organic and Supramolecular Chemistry"
In this volume, important compounds of low molecular weight have been selected, presented with a suitable, usually historical, introduction and are discussed with reference to related topics. Discussion is extended to recent publications in the primary literature.
