Supramolecular chemistry: Concepts and applications
Author(s): Dr. Annu
Abstract: Supramolecular chemistry, a dynamic field at the intersection of chemistry and nanoscience, investigates the assembly of molecular building blocks into intricate, functional architectures governed by non-covalent interactions. This paper delves into the fundamental principles and applications of supramolecular chemistry, highlighting its significance in molecular recognition, self-assembly, and material design. By elucidating the diverse range of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and host-guest interactions, this research elucidates the underlying mechanisms driving supramolecular phenomena. Furthermore, it explores the applications of supramolecular chemistry in various fields including drug delivery, catalysis, and materials science, emphasizing its potential to address contemporary challenges in nanotechnology and beyond. Through comprehensive analysis and synthesis of current literature, this paper offers insights into the evolving landscape of supramolecular chemistry and its promising prospects for future advancements.
