Supramolecular chemistry deals with the organisation of molecules
into defined assemblies using non-covalent interactions,
including weaker and reversible interactions such as hydrogen
bonds, and metal-ligand interactions. The aspect of
stereochemistry within such chemical architectures, and in
particular chirality, is of special interest as it impacts on
considerations of molecular recognition, the development of
functional materials, the vexed question of homochirality,
nanoscale effects of interactions at interfaces, biocatalysis and
enzymatic catalysis, and applications in organic synthesis.
