From the reviews:
"If supramolecular chemistry is molecular sociology then supramolecular chirality is the design of molecular sociological order into these molecular systems. The purpose of the seven chapters of this book is to provide the reader with the latest research insights into the asymmetric arrangement of molecules in a non-covalent assembly, where chirality is utilised as a tool to fabricate supramolecular structures with new and intersting applications and properties that could evolve into new nanofabrication technologies."

"Unlike traditional chemical synthesis where molecules are stitched together atom by atom through covalent bonds, supramolecular chemistry deals with noncovalent interactions that utilize a combination of weak and reversible interacting forces to organize and assemble molecules into well-defined systems. This book is a description of the next level of molecular organization - i.e., how chemical building blocks, both chiral and achiral, are organized and assembled into asymmetric (chiral) supramolecular assemblies - and its application in various science and engineering fields. Not only does it provide an excellent overview of the field, listing key literature reviews and some of the latest findings, the volume is well organized and written by experts who detail the principles and applications of each topic.β¦ . Overall, the book is well written and provides a comprehensive overview of the field of supramolecular chemistry, with emphasis on molecular chirality. It is a very useful and informative book to have as a reference. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in molecular organization and self-assembly, both novice and practicioner alike."
