A supramolecular assembly — a supermolecule — is an explicitly designed complex of molecules held together by noncovalent bonds — bonds that do not involve sharing electrons.

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.
Top — left: molecular structure of a plastomer synthesized in this work; right:
supramolecular structure formed by the
assembly of identical plastomers.

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.
P1 behavior was first investigated by STM at the liquid / solid interface: as an exemple, an arrangement of the molecules on HOPG presenting a quasi-square lattice (a = 2.1 nm, b = 2.2 nm, α = 94 °) self - assembled by hydrogen bonds between the pyridine unit and the methyl groups borne by the p - xylene core will be described, indicating strong intermolecular interactions between the molecules P1 leading to a
supramolecular self -
assembly independent of the underlying HOPG structure.
Finally, different attempts of
supramolecular self -
assemblies were carried out on surface.
The discovery driven group, PETRO Case Consortium at Case Western University, a Park AFM user, investigates the area of molecular, macromolecular, and
supramolecular synthesis and structure of polymers and nanomaterials capable of controlled -

Thus, we designed and synthesized new molecular architectures based on the 3D Janus tecton concept, suitable for self -
assembly on surface by
supramolecular interactions such as coordination, halogen bond or hydrogen bond.3 Here we present two different model pyridyl end - capped molecules: the pedestal P1, and the naked pillar NP pedestal incorporating a cyclophane core.
