Functional Supramolecular Architectures

摘要

Over twenty years have passed since the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Donald Cram, Jean-Marie Lehn, and Charles J. Pedersen "for their development and use of molecules with structure-specific interactions of high selectivity". The area of study developed to become its own research field, known as "supramolecular chemistry". The supramolecular approach, based on the design and synthesis of molecules with the capacity to undergo self-recognition events and form multi-component structures, has been applied to thedevelopment of complex systems.
