This comprehensive review aims to explore the recent advances in supramolecular chemistry, focusing on the development and applications of host-guest chemistry, supramolecular polymers, dynamic covalent chemistry, and supramolecular catalysis.
Supramolecular chemistry is the study of entities of greater complexity than individual molecules — assemblies of molecules that bond and organize through intermolecular interactions.
Supramolecular chemistry, also known as “chemistry beyond the molecule”, focuses on the study of molecular recognition and high-order assemblies formed by noncovalent interactions.
Supramolecular assemblies are a different type of large structure, related to macromolecules. In a supermolecular assembly, parts of the structure are held together by very strong interactions, but not necessarily by covalent bonds.
Welcome to supramolecular.org. We provide online analysis tools for supramolecular chemistry research, including Bindfit: a tool for determining binding constants from NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence titration experiments.
Finally, we introduce higher-order systems for the self-propulsion of supramolecular structures and communication between supramolecular self-assemblies. These are constructed using a hierarchical chemical reaction system triggered by the incorporation of a cascade of chemical reactions.
13.1.2 What is supramolecular chemistry? Supramolecular chemistry is an emerging field in chemistry that deals with a discrete number of molecules wherein weak chemical forces like electrostatic charge, hydrogen bonding, and Van Der Waals forces operate instead of strong covalent forces [52].
Supramolecular chemistry must follow the same trajectory as organic chemistry to make complex structures that mimic those found in nature.
This chapter is intended to describe the principles, perspectives, and recent developments in the field of supramolecular chemistry, which has grown exponentially in the last few decades as indicated by the large number of articles, reviews, and books.1-7 The emergence of supramolecular chemistry has had a profound effect on how efficiently ...
