2.1 Introduction to Supramolecular Chemistry and Binding Constant Determination

2.1.1 Chapter Overview

Supramolecular chemistry is the study of intermolecular association, and it describes the reversible non‐covalent reaction between two or more molecules [1]. It includes the sub‐fields of host–guest chemistry and molecular recognition and extends to applications in sensing and catalysis, which is the topic of this book. ...
