Abstract

Soft Supramolecular Materials (SSM) are multicomponent materials formed bythe bulk supramolecular assembly/aggregation of building units into a regularstructure, with stronger bonding within building units and weaker bondingbetween them. The nature of the building units may vary from simple moleculesto nanoparticles, and the forces linking the units together may vary from coordinativeto van der Waals. Recently SSM have attracted a great deal of attention due to theirwide variability, easy conversion from one structure to another, and active responseto external stimuli. It seems evident that the progress in the chemistry of SSMpredestines the appearance of a new generation of functional and ``smart'' materials.
