Supramolecular chemistry refers to the study of how molecules come together and interact to form larger structures. It focuses on the understanding of non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic forces, and van der Waals forces. This field explores how these interactions shape the behavior and properties of these larger structures, enabling scientists to design and create new materials and systems with specific properties and functions.

The core of his Ph.D. was «the extension of the principles
of supramolecular chemistry» — a discipline that focuses on dynamic, reversible interactions between molecules — «to analytical chemistry, notably in the field of separating methods with membranes of analytical interest,» Luca says.
«His main scientific achievement has been to realize the interest of
combining supramolecular chemistry with facilitated transport in artificial membranes,» Guizard says.

«With the help of cucurbiturils, new and more efficient formulations of steroid substances might be developed in the future,» Werner Nau, expert
for supramolecular chemistry at Jacobs University Bremen, says.
As the leader of a research group devoted to
biomimetic supramolecular chemistry, he creates «unnatural» molecules with defined, predetermined shapes that closely resemble the major biological polymers, proteins and DNA, found in cells.
[4] Supramolecular chemistry, the science of self - assembly and self - organization at the molecular scale, focuses on chemical entities resulting from the interactions between molecular objects.
Derived
from supramolecular chemistry [4], the new compounds synthesized by the researchers have original properties: within several minutes, they bring about the growth of lamellar networks of actin filaments.
The discovery by Jean - Pierre Sauvage in 1983 of the mechanical bond, which made possible the avalanche of work on molecular machines, occurred several years before Foresight came into existence; however, in June of 2011 we pointed to a major book co-edited by Prof. Sauvage
on supramolecular chemistry and molecular machines, published that year, that collected papers and discussions from the 21st Solvay Conference on Chemistry (held in 2007).

Supramolecular chemistry is the study of the structures and functions of the supermolecules that result from binding substrates to molecular receptors.
Supramolecular chemistry is the science that is concerned with molecular self - assembly: chemical building blocks which, when you combine them, naturally form larger ordered structures.
