Modulating Molecular Properties by Supramolecular Interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
Supramolecular interaction is rapidly emerging as the method of choice for tuning molecular properties to meet desired applications like drug delivery vehicles, sensors, designing molecular architectures, catalysis chambers, biomimetic systems and so on. We have successfully demonstrated the modulation of electron and proton transfer reactions, acidbase characteristics and photophysical properties of fluorescent molecules by exploiting supramolecular interactions. Some prospective applications are also discussed.

Supramolecular polymers constructed by orthogonal self-assembly based on host-guest and metal-ligand interactions.
Supramolecular polymers constructed by orthogonal self-assembly based on host-guest and metal-ligand interactions are attracting increasing attention currently because of their interesting properties and potential applications. Host-guest interactions impart these polymers with good selectivity and convenient enviro-responsiveness, and metal-ligand interactions endow them with various coordinat...
متن کاملPeriodic potentials in hybrid van der Waals heterostructures formed by supramolecular lattices on graphene
The rise of 2D materials made it possible to form heterostructures held together by weak interplanar van der Waals interactions. Within such van der Waals heterostructures, the occurrence of 2D periodic potentials significantly modifies the electronic structure of single sheets within the stack, therefore modulating the material properties. However, these periodic potentials are determined by t...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotubes: Supramolecular Mechanics
Supramolecular interactions are usually short-range (near contact) forces between the molecules, too weak to cause the intermolecular changes or bond formation between the particles. At the same time, their strength and range are sufficient to cause self-assembly of the molecular units or certain elastic deformations of these building blocks. Because of the weakness of supramolecular interactio...
متن کاملSynthesis and optical properties of metallo-supramolecular polymers.
Metal-ligand interactions between metal ions, such as Zn2+, and ditopic low-molecular weight conjugated monomers, which utilize the 2,6-bis(1'-methylbenzimidazolyl)pyridine ligand, lead to the formation of supramolecular conjugated polymers with interesting optical properties.
متن کاملFrom Molecules to Devices: Supramolecular Interactions in Materials for Advanced Applications
To fully exploit the promise of molecular materials for advanced applications a thorough understanding of supramolecular structureproperties relationships is needed, a non-trivial problem because non-additive, collective behavior appears as a result of intermolecular interactions. We present a model for interacting polar and polarizable molecules that applies to clusters (films, crystals, aggre...
