In a historical perspective, as pointed out by J.-M.

Abstract
In a historical perspective, as pointed out by J.-M. Lehn, supramolecular chemistry originated from Paul Ehrlich’s receptor idea, Alfred Werner’s coordination chemistry, and Emil Fischer’s lock-and-key image. It was only in the 1970s, however, that some fundamental concepts such as molecular recognition, pre-organization, self-assembly, etc., were introduced and supramolecular chemistry began to emerge as a discipline. This new, highly interdisciplinary branch of chemistry was consecrated by the award of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to C. J. Pedersen, D. J. Cram, and J.-M. Lehn in 1987, and has developed at an astonishingly fast rate during the last three decades.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
