Supramolecular chemistry is concerned with the structure and dynamics of a small molecule (termed a guest) that is noncovalently bound to a larger molecule. 

The main classes of supramolecular compounds are cavitands, cryptands, calixarenes, host-guest complexes, rotaxanes, catenanes, and clathrates. Micelles, liposomes and liquid crystals can also be referred to supramolecular structures.

  

Supramolecular Chemistry

Thus, molecular recognition, transformation and translocation represent the basic functions of supramolecular species. More complex functions may result from the interplay of several binding subunits in a polytopic coreceptor.
