<strong>Supramolecular</strong> chemistry may be defined as<br />

“chemistry beyond the molecule”, bearing on the<br />

organized entities of higher complexity that result<br />

from the association of two or more chemical<br />

species held together by intermolecular forces :<br />

metal-ion coordination, electrostatic forces,<br />

hydrogen bonding, van der Waals interacions,<br />

donor acceptor interactions, etc.<br />
