About this Research Topic
Supramolecular chemistry is one of the most actively developing and promising areas of chemical science, located between chemistry, physics, biology, medicine and material science. It uses the principle of self-assembly of molecules into supramolecular assemblies through various types of intermolecular interactions. Self-assembly is a key factor in understanding biological processes. Directed design and the creation of supramolecular systems with desired properties is considered promising and opens up a great many opportunities.
Over the past decades, good results have been achieved in the development of various supramolecular systems, as well as research on their application in catalysis, materials, sensors, electronic devices, and nanomedicine. The study of numerous non-covalent interactions of new chemical compounds allows mankind to come closer to understanding natural processes. The study of the supramolecular properties of new synthetic organic compounds, natural biomolecules, organic, inorganic and organic-inorganic nanoparticles and nanomaterials in the framework of supramolecular chemistry and the interactions of complex structures with each other is the key to creating new technologies, drugs and materials of the future.
The aim of the current Research Topic is to cover promising, recent and new areas of research in the field of synthesis of new organic and inorganic objects, such as small organic molecules, biomacromolecules and nanoparticles, and their applications in biology, chemistry and physics (nanomedicine, catalysis, material design, sensors). We welcome Original Research, Review, Mini Review and Perspective articles on themes including, but not limited to:
• The design, synthesis and application of micro/nanoparticles by self-assembly
• The synthesis, applications and self-assembly of new organic compounds
• The design of self-assembling drug delivery systems
• Development of catalytic and sensor systems based on self-assembly
