Supramolecular Chemistry / Science

Some Conjectures and Perspectives

  • Chapter
Supramolecular Science: Where It Is and Where It Is Going

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 527))

Abstract

Supramolecular chemistry has over the last quarter of a century grown into a major field of chemistry and has fueled numerous developments in the related areas of biology and physics, thus giving rise to the emergence and establishment of supramolecular science (and technology), as a broad multi- and inter-disciplinary domain providing a highly fertile ground for the creativity of scientists from all origins. Its impact has been analyzed in a recent commentary on the theme of the present meeting [1], and illustrated by the perceptive presentation of five selected topics of supramolecular chemistry by some of the major players in the field [2–6]. The chapters in this book provide further extensive coverage and markedly widen the scope.
