  1. Supramolecular Chemistry Formation of new chemical structures by the assembly of molecular subunits bound together by non-covalent interactions. Host-guest chemistry The use of supramolecular assemblies as host for chemical reactivity, is emerging as an important way to study how the binding of molecules into the cavity can mediate their chemical reactivity.
  2. The emergence of supramolecular chemistry has had a profound effect on how efficiently chemists prepare structures of different sizes and shapes with dimension in the range of 1 to 100 nm using spontaneous secondary interactions such as hydrogen bonding, dipoledipole, charge transfer, van der Waals, and p-p stacking interactions
  3. Challenges The challenge is to synthetically create nanostructures with such precision and specificity as seen in biological systems by cleverly incorporating complementary recognition sites in the molecular components for secondary interactions.
  4. This challenge is only met by first understanding how molecular self-assembly in biological systems to generate well-defined aggregates and operates then transferring the knowledge learned from biological systems to chemical synthesis.
  5. DNA, perhaps the best known self-assembling structure in biological systems, exists in a double helical form Hydrogen bonding interaction Involving acidic hydrogen atoms (hydrogen bonding donor), oxygen (hydrogen bonding acceptor), and nitrogen atoms (hydrogen bonding acceptor) of the purine and pyrimidine bases (2.9 ± 0.1 Å)

  8. Hydrogen bond H-bond donor X = O, N, S, perhaps C H-bond acceptor X H Y = anything vvith Ione pair (e.g. O, S again) Range 4- 120 kJ mol-I Strength depends an (a) acidity of HI-I, (b) basicity of Y Exact nature of H-bonds controversial - covalent or electrostatic? Probably covalent when strong and electrostatic when weak.
  9. H-bonds prefer to be linear, along line of Ione pair
