The main topics addressed include: Construction and structure of macrocyclic supramolecular assembly - key building blocks, construction methods, structural motifs, and stimuli responsive control Approach and technology - controllable synthesis, molecular recognition, spectral and thermodynamic study, supramolecular assembly at interfaces, orthogonal self-assembly, the supramolecular organic framwork (SOF), molecular induced aggregation, supramolecule assisted 3D printing, theoretical calculation and molecular simulation Biological applications - chemical and biological sensing, theranostic tools, molecule/ion channels, drug/gene delivery, supramolecule assisted biomolecule production, supramolecule assisted transmembrane transport, supramolecule assisted immunity regulation, supramolecule-based medicinal drug, etc. This handbook appeals to graduate and undergraduate students as well as scientists with interests in supramolecular chemistry, biochemistry, functional material and nanotechnology.}, url = {http://library.usi.edu/record/943638}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-2686-2}, }
