From the Preface

".... Among various interesting innovations brought about by the development of supramolecular
chemistry, supramolecular synthesis is a particularly powerful approach for the design and
generation of molecular architectures displaying both structural and functional complexity.
The combination of molecular synthesis (which allows chemists to design and prepare extremely
sophisticated biotic and abiotic molecules through the interconnection of atoms or group of atoms
by strong covalent bonds) and supramolecular synthesis (which orchestrates the association of
molecules by recognition processes through the use of weak and reversible interactions) opens up
endless structural and functional possibilities. Following the perceptive observation by Dunitz
that "A crystal is, in a sense, the supramolecule par excellence", molecular crystals may be seen
as infinite periodic architectures resulting from the interconnection of building blocks or
tectons capable of self-assembling through specific recognising events. Thus, one may regard
the formation of a molecular crystal as a subset of supramolecular synthesis based on the
generation of crystalline materials with defined connectivity patterns between molecular
components which makes up the solid material. The iterative recognition events responsible for
the formation of crystalline architectures may be based on a variety of intermolecular
interactions such as van der Waals' contacts, hydrogen- or coordination bonds and electrostatic
interactions. These attractive forces may be employed separately or may be combined in a
co-operative manner. This volume, by bringing together contributions by some of the most active
and eminent researchers in this area, gives an updated overview of this important and emerging
area of research."
