Abstract

Over the past quarter of the century organic chemistry has been widely used as a tool to investigate and mimic biological processes[1]. The closing gap between physical and biological disciplines has lead to the evolution of new areas such as bioorganic chemistry and molecular recognition. Conventionally, the area of molecular recognition emerged as scientists investigated the interaction of a larger molecule “the receptor” with a smaller molecule called “the substrate”[2]. The earlier investigations in this area were focused on developing synthetic receptors for small organic molecules containing important functionalities such as urea, carboxylic acids, amides, etc[3]. The following section will cover briefly, some classical receptor substrate complexes that will lay the ground for a later discussion on the nature of self-assembling structures.
