In a relatively short period, dynamic combinatorial chemistry has grown
from proof - of - concept experiments in a few isolated labs to a broad conceptual
framework, finding application to an exceptional range of problems
in molecular recognition, lead compound identification, catalyst design,
nanotechnology, polymer science, and others. This book brings together
experts in many of these areas, as well as in the analytical techniques necessary
for the execution of a successful DCC experiment. While there have
been several outstanding general reviews of the field published over the
past few years, the time seemed ripe for an overview in book form
