Abstract

Supramolecular molecular is a big ply of interdisciplinary field of science covering physics and biology along with chemistry. It plays a major role in progressive elaboration of a science of informed, organized, evaluative matter. It has vast application in various fields like material technology, catalytic medicine, data storage and processing, and many more. Supramolecular chemistry refers to area of the chemistry beyond the molecule or chemistry of non-covalent bond. In traditional chemistry, we use to see that atoms bind with atoms with covalent bond, but in Supramolecular chemistry molecules bind with molecules with non-covalent bond interactions. Non-covalent interactions may be electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, pi-pi stacking interactions, Van der Waals forces, hydrophobic or cation-pi interaction. Molecular self-assembly, molecular, recognisation template directed synthesis, mechanically interlocking molecular architecture; biomimetics are the important features of supramolecular chemistry. Molecular self-assembly is the construction of systems without guidance or management from source. The ideas of supramolecular chemistry can be a very vast way of expressing and advancing molecular logic and computation. Supramolecular chemistry has been used to demonstrate computation functions on a molecular scale. Supramolecular are formed by interaction of molecular of intermolecular bonds using receptor and substrate. Supramolecular chemistry includes molecular Recognisation, transformation molecular self assembly, self –organization priding host-guest chemistry mechanically interlocked molecular architecture. There are two approaches of Super molecules 1. Top-Down (current technology)  Continued reduction in size of bulk semiconductor devices  Optical, ultra-violet, ion-beam, electron-beam lithography 2. Bottom-Up (molecular scale electronics)  Design of molecules with specific electronic function  Design of molecules for self-assembly into Supramolecular structures  Connecting molecules to the macroscopic world  Man-made synthesis (e.g. carbon nanotubes) Finally a degree of technical expertise can lead to functioning devices ready for application of real world.
