Abstract

Nature has demonstrated the extraordinary ability of biological systems to form large and intricate supramolecular arrays from small and simple building blocks, giving rise to a wide variety of structures and functions. In the past two decades, abiological self-assembly of molecular architectures has evolved into a field of intense investigation in supramolecular chemistry.[1] Besides their aesthetic appeal, some of these assemblies become useful as ...
