Key terms
- Supramolecular chemistry
- A field of chemistry that deals with the structures and functions formed when molecules assemble together.
- Molecular machines
- Molecules, or assemblies of molecules, that move like machine parts, such as gears.
- Highly strained π-conjugated compounds
- A class of molecules with structures that appear forcibly bent, in which π electrons are delocalized across a continuous, extended system.
