Supramolecular compounds nomenclature

Table 1 Specification/nomenclature of hosts (ligands) and suplamolecular compounds they form (decriptive terms or names of supramolecular compounds, if existing, are given m parentheses)...

T0 summarize, it can be said that basic classification of supramolecular compounds has been developed using several criteria, of which the type of interaction and topological considerations are most important. On the other hand, a strict systematic nomenclature for any type of supramolecular compounds is lacking. Instead, a number of trivial names, notations, and semi-systematic names are presently in use.

The solid-state structures of these compounds are, at least at a cursory glance, dominated by OH.. . OH hydrogen bonds. Interestingly, the supramolecular chemistry of such systems can be traced back to the structure determination of 1,3-dihydroxybenzene in 1936, and Alexander Wells subsequent analysis of this structure, interpreting the topology as a utp-net (or (10,3)-d net with his own nomenclature).
