The adjacent binuclear complexes are linked by the O-H...O hydrogen bond between the carboxyl oxygen and the lattice water oxygen, which assembled the complex into 1-D
supramolecular chain along a - axis(Fig.2).
They cover history and development; syntheses, structures, and properties; host-guest chemistry of cucurbit[n]urils; cucurbit[n]urils as molecular containers and their applications;
supramolecular systems built with cucurbiturils; applications of curcurbiturils in materials science; biological applications, applications of cucurbit[7]uril-ultrahigh-affinity host-guest complexes; and outstanding challenges and opportunities.
Taking this as a crosslinking point, crosslinking the bonded molecular necklaces with other polymers enables free movement of crosslinking points to build
supramolecular networks.

He is a leader in the fields of nanoscience and
supramolecular self-assembly, the strategy used by biology to create highly functional ordered structures.
When the
supramolecular gel is introduced into the polymer hydrogel, forming the hybrid gel, its mechanical strength and elasticity are enhanced.
Chemists show how
supramolecular behavior occurs and is studied in the context of solvent extraction, and how it is influencing the current directions in solvent extraction.
One of the main objects of nanomedicine is drug delivery by using
supramolecular nanostructures [1].
The researchers were looking for possibilities of mechanical forces to unlock new types of chemistry, said Professor of
Supramolecular Polymer Chemistry, Rint Sijbesma.
The development of novel synthetic methodologies to construct molecular clips and tweezers capable of forming
supramolecular assembles with fullerenes is reviewed.
The material-
supramolecular polymer, which is being developed by chemical company AkzoNobel in conjunction with scientists at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, can repair itself simply by holding the two pieces together.
