Diamondoid Molecules: With Applications In Biomedicine, Materials Science, Nanotechnology & Petroleum Science - Mansoori, G Ali (Univ Of Illinois At Chicago, Usa) a De Araujo, Elmo Silvano (Univ Federal De Pernambuco, Brazil) a De Araujo, Patricia Lopes Barros (Univ Federal De Rural De Pernambuco, Brazil)

Diamondoids are cage-like, ultra stable, saturated ringed hydrocarbons, which have a diamond-like structure consisting of a number of six-member carbon rings fused together. Adamantane is the cage compound prototype and the simplest diamondoid molecule. This book exposes and discusses intriguing facets of diamondoid molecules.
