This book provides an accessible and timely introduction to the exciting interdisciplinary
field of supramolecular chemistry. Starting with the principles that explain how molecules
recognize each other and self-assemble non-covalently an overview is given how these concepts
can be used to create complex supramolecular architectures. One thus learns how to design
functional molecular systems that serve as switches motors transporters catalysts
chemosensors and much more. In 2022 this book won the Literature Prize of the German Chemical
Industry Association VCI. For the full press release (in German): https: www.vci.de fonds
