ABSTRACT
Supramolecular interaction in chemistry is described as “chemistry beyond the molecule1 which involve non-covalent association between different molecules2 probably the most famous and comprehensive definition of supramolecular chemistry was given in 1985 by JeanMarie Lehn, Nobel prize winner in 1987, together with Cram and Pedersen. This branch of chemistry investigates systems based predominantly on weak and reversible interactions between molecules: i.e. electrostatic interaction, Hydrogen bonding, coordination bonds, Van der Waals interactions, π-π interactions, ion-dipole interactions, etc. Naturally occurring macromolecules like enzymes and membrane receptors have been a great source of inspiration in the design of supramolecular systems. The terms receptor and substrate, borrowed from natural systems are still commonly used to indicate two different molecular units interacting by means of non-covalent interactions. The receptor is usually the bigger molecular unit whereas the substrate is the smaller one.
