Definition

Supramolecular polymers are defined as polymers formed by non-covalent bonds. Non-covalent bonds include hydrogen bonds, coordination bonds, donor-acceptor bonds, and host-guest interactions.

Supramolecular Polymers (Definition)

Supramolecular polymers are defined as polymers linked by intermolecular non-covalent interactions among molecules. Intermolecular interactions are involved in hydrogen bonds, metal-ligand interactions, donor-acceptor bonds, and host-guest interaction. Here in this chapter, supramolecular polymers formed by host-guest interactions are mainly focused on. (Supramolecular polymers involved in cyclodextrins are described in detail in another chapter, so the description of such supramolecular polymers is limited to the overview.)

The term "supramolecular polymers" was first proposed by J. Lehn in his book on Supramolecular Chemistry [1].

There are various types of supramolecular polymers...
