»Supramolecular chemistry is chemistry beyond the molecule. We use intermolecular forces to build new structures through selforganisation, e.g. branched dendrimers. Further applications comprise molecular detection, transport and switching. Additionally to supramolecular bonding we apply reversible covalent chemistry.«
