The purposeful self-assembly of discrete molecules or atoms to form larger-scale, systematic structures is termed supramolecular chemistry - a field that earned the 1987 Nobel prize in chemistry for its pioneers Lehn, Pedersen, and Cram. Self-recognition and reproducible self-assembly are one of the...
