Supramolecular chemistry (host-gust-chemistry) is a branch of chemistry that examines the non-covalent interactions of molecules and the formation of non-covalent supra-structures.
Main concepts of the supramolecular chemistry are molecular self-assembly, molecular recognition and complexation, template-directed synthesis, mechanically interlocked molecular architectures, dynamic covalent chemistry and more.
The most studied classes of compounds in supramolecular chemistry are the crown ethers, cryptands and cryptates, together with the associated metalla-Topomere, as well as the cyclodextrins and calixarenes. But also inorganic hosts such as zeolites and polyoxovanadates are possible.
To investigate the supra molecules interdisciplinary methods from all fields of chemistry and physics are used.
