Definition and research area of supermolecule chemistry

Supermolecule chemistry, including molecular recognition, molecular catalysis, transmission procedure and carrier design, molecule and supermolecule device and molecule self-assembly, is a kind of newly developed interdisciplinary subject in the recent 30 years [1]. Due to its wide applications in industry, information, life and material science etc, supermolecule chemistry has been receiving increased attention [2]. 

Supermolecule interaction is a kind of intermolecular interaction with molecule recognition ability. The interaction includes van der Waals, electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, 7rinteraction and hydrophobic interaction, etc imder the steric effect. Such an interaction is similar to the intermolecular specific combination as
