Description/Abstract

This review looks back to the birth of modern supramolecular chemistry with the formation of simple crown ether-alkali metal complexes through to more recent self-assembling molecular systems. The final section of this review speculates on what the future may hold for supramolecular assemblies. This includes new catalysts, self-replicating molecular systems, complexes that might be used for data storage, and the creation of molecular motors.
