DESCRIPTION:An exciting research challenge in supramolecular chemistry is 
 to design\, synthesize\, and characterize nano-sized architectures with ap
 plications in biology\, chemistry\, and materials science.1 Predicting and
  designing non-covalently bound supramolecular complexes and assemblies is
  difficult because of the weakness of the interactions involved\, thus the
  resulting superstructure is often a compromise between the geometrical co
 nstraints of the building blocks and the competing weak intermolecular int
 eractions.2 \n\nOur research interest has been focused on the studies of w
 eak non-covalent intermolecular\, viz. supramolecular interactions as the 
 driving force in self-assembly and molecular recognition\, especially in t
 he solid state by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The lecture will highl
 ight some of our recent studies on hydrogen3 and halogen4 bonded systems\,
  π-π5\, cation…π6\,  CH…anion7\, and anion…π8 interactions and m
 etal ion coordination9 in molecular self-assembly and molecular recognitio
 n in various systems such a resorcinarenes\, ditopic receptors\, rotaxanes
 \, L6M4 tetrahedra\, etc..\n\n\nReferences\n\n1	a) M. Morgan Conn and J. R
