Molecular self-assembly is a widespread phenomenon in both
chemistry and biochemistry. Yet it was not until the rise of
supramolecular chemistry that attention has increasingly been given
to the designed self-assembly of a variety of synthetic molecules
and ions. To a large extent, success in this area has reflected
knowledge gained from nature. However, an increased awareness of
the latent steric and electronic information implanted in
individual molecular components has also contributed to this
success. Whilst not yet approaching the sophistication of
biological assemblies, synthetic systems of increasing subtlety and
considerable aesthetic appeal have been created. Self-Assembly in
Supramolecular Systems surveys highlights of the progress made in
the creation of discrete synthetic assemblies and provides a
foundation for new workers in the area, as well as background
reading for experienced supramolecular chemists.
