TL;DR
The aim of these syntheses is not only the creation of a particular structure, but also the introduction of specific chemical functions in these supramolecular aggregates.
Abstract
Weak, noncovalent interactions between molecules control many biological functions. In chemistry, noncovalent interactions are now exploited for the synthesis in solution of large supramolecular aggregates. The aim of these syntheses is not only the creation of a particular structure, but also the introduction of specific chemical functions in these supramolecules.
