= Supramolecular assembly
{wiki=Supramolecular_assembly}
Supramolecular assembly refers to the organized structure formed through non-covalent interactions between molecules, often termed supramolecules. Unlike traditional molecular assembly, which involves covalent bonds, supramolecular chemistry utilizes weaker interactions such as hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, π-π stacking, hydrophobic effects, and coordination bonds. This allows for the formation of complex architectures from simpler building blocks.
