Synthesis Beyond the Molecule
TLDR
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.read more

From supramolecular chemistry towards constitutional dynamic chemistry and adaptive chemistry
TL;DR: Supramolecular chemistry considers chemical objects and systems capable of responding to external solicitations by modification of their constitution through component exchange or reorganisation, and opens the way towards an adaptive and evolutive chemistry, a further step towards the chemistry of complex matter.

Controlling molecular deposition and layer structure with supramolecular surface assemblies
TL;DR: This work uses hydrogen bonding to guide the assembly of two types of molecules into a two-dimensional open honeycomb network that then controls and templates new surface phases formed by subsequently deposited fullerene molecules, and finds that the open network acts as aTwo-dimensional array of large pores of sufficient capacity to accommodate several large guest molecules.

Polyvalent Interactions in Biological Systems: Implications for Design and Use of Multivalent Ligands and Inhibitors.
TL;DR: Polyvalent interactions can be collectively much stronger than corresponding monovalent interactions, and they can provide the basis for mechanisms of both agonizing and antagonizing biological interactions that are fundamentally different from those available inmonovalent systems.
