Dissipative Dynamic Libraries (DDLs) and Dissipative Dynamic Combinatorial Chemistry (DDCC)

This Concept is focused on the key features of dissipative dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DDCC). DDCC deals with transient libraries compounds, maintained out-of-equilibrium by consumption a fuel, whose composition changes upon selection pressure kinetic and/or thermodynamic processes. Concepts and definitions (“KDDL” “TDDL”), are introduced illustrated number actual cases, thus showing consistency present approach. Such concepts can help establish common language for this emerging field, which, in our view, has potential to become highly relevant supramolecular chemistry.
