Vögtle F., Stoddart F.J., Shibasaki M. (eds) Stimulating Concepts in Chemistry

Wiley-VCH, 2000. — 400 p. — ISBN: 3-527-29978-5.Fresh ideas have always been a necessary ingredient for progress in chemistry. Without a continuous supply of stimulating ideas from creative researchers, there would be no new insights into the subject. But what are some of the ideas that pervade modern chemistry?
