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.
