BIBLIOTECA LQES DE QUÍMICA SUPRAMOLECULAR

Química Supramolecular

A Química Molecular é a mais fiel expressão da ligação covalente. A Química Supramolecular, a seu lado, é a "química além da molécula", cujo desafio é ter o controle das ligações não-covalentes intermoleculares. Assim, ela está relacionada com entidades químicas de complexidade mais elevada que as próprias moléculas - espécies supramoleculares e conjuntos ligados entre si e organizados por meio de interações ligantes intermoleculares. Trata-se de um campo altamente interdisciplinar da ciência e tecnologia, constituindo-se, muitas vezes, na ponte entre a Química, a Biologia e a Física.

A Química Supramolecular incorpora todo o poder criativo da Química. A Química, dada sua essência, sua habilidade em criar e a beleza de seus objetos é, a um só tempo, uma arte e uma ciência. De fato, a Química molda novos mundos, que não existiriam antes que as mãos do químico os tivessem modelado, da mesma maneira que as mãos do escultor transforma seu trabalho em arte.
