Description
Summary:Includes bibliographical references. === In this thesis the principles of molecular recognition were employed in the separation of closely related guests and guest exchange. The industrially important isomeric compounds such as xylenois, lutidines and cresols were successfully separated using different host compounds. Separation of aminobenzonitrile isomers was investigated in solution and in the solid state.
