Principles and advances in supramolecular catalysis

In the context of our general life, the word catalyst is related to describe the facilitation of everyday activities. Similarly, the term supramolecular catalyst is like working under an umbrella to do everyday works in a protective and controlled manner to bring about a speedy, desired and specific output. In a chemical sense, supramolecular chemistry has emerged as a subject forecast to improve fuel, energy, healthcare and the environment. Nature performs reactions in self-made enclosures and has its own carrier systems to mix reagents. Supramolecular catalysis utilises complementary weak interactions through molecular recognition to control and increase the efficacy of chemical reactions.
