Popis: Remarkable progress in the synthetic chemistry of supramolecular assemblies has created many new structural types. With the proliferation of new structures has come increasing interest in the properties and behavior of these assemblies. Does the cooperativity of constituent components lend an assembly new properties distinct from the components themselves? Do the properties of an assembly make it suitable for application as a nanovessel for new chemistries? The latter question may lead to the synthetic targeting of assemblies for specific applications. Physical study of supramolecular systems informs the evolution of new structures, which express more complex supramolecular functionality.
