The quest for mastering the controlled engineering of dynamic molecular assemblies is the
basis of molecular architectonics. The rational use of noncovalent interactions to programme …

Conspectus The term architectonics has its roots in the architectural and philosophical (as
early as 1600s) literature that refers to “the theory of structure” and “the structure of theory” …

Fabrication of well-defined two-dimensional (2D) architectures employing organic or organic–
inorganic hybrid molecular systems through bottom-up methodologies is a challenging task …

The stringent processes of natural selection and evolution have enabled extraordinary
structure–function properties of biomolecules. Specifically, the archetypal designs of …

Atom/molecular‐level controls in nanotechnology are important for the precise placement of
components in device applications. Despite many advances, nanotechnology still uses …

Nanoarchitectonics relies on the fabrication of materials at the atomic/molecular level to
achieve the desired shape and function. Significant advances have been made in …

Molecular architectonics has its essence in custom design and engineering of molecular
assemblies by judicious exploitation of the noncovalent forces to construct ordered …

In biological systems, hierarchical structures enable the exhibition of complex functions and
