Abstract:
Supramolecular chemistry deals with the behavior of molecular individuals and populations: the social and “class” structure of an organized community of individuals, its stability and fragility, and the tendencies of individuals toward uniting and separating, their selectivity, “effective affiliation,” their ability to recognize one another, their dynamics, strain, movements and reorientation, their interactions, mutual influence and transformations, as well as the mobility and rigidity between their societies and castes.
