Abstract
The breakthrough in supramolecular chemistry came in the 1960s when Charles J. Pedersen utilized the concept of ‘chemistry beyond molecules’ in the synthesis of the crown ethers. Self-assembly could allow for the construction of fascinating supramolecular architectures that are otherwise challenging to prepare using covalent chemistry. Supramolecular chemistry has been extensively studied in recent decades and its applications have been explored to include everything from molecular machines and sensors to gas absorption and nanoreactors to chemical catalysis and drug delivery. In this review article, some of the commercial applications are discussed to highlight the transition of supramolecular chemistry from theoretical concept to market.
