Talk:Supramolecular chemistry

message: I wonder if the article can be more appropriately titled as 'Supramolecular Science' or just 'supramolecules' after all the subject is multidisciplinary and definitely not limited to conventional chemistry Hallenrm (talk) 08:54, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Why supramolecular chemistry, not supramolecular science?

message: The section I have marked does not cite sources which corroborate that those listed are, in fact, subsections of Supramolecular Chemistry.  A source, such as one from Lehn or Cram or, well, anyone reputable, would help.  Jeremiah (talk·cont) 16:12, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: that tag is not helpful. The points you raise should be addressed on the specialist page with each segment  (only the part on templated synthesis does not have a specialist page). I have seen a Lehn reference on at least three pages. No point in duplicating references V8rik (talk) 20:34, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  If there was a large banner that just said "Who says this?" I would have used it.  Otherwise I would have to tag each paragraph with  and it would make the whole section look like shit.  If you'd like to avail yourself of something more useful than suggesting a tag is unhelpful, perhaps you could dig up that Lehn reference you seem to be aware of on at least 3 pages and posting it in the appropriate location.  Jeremiah (talk·cont) 18:48, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

text: * If we can cut it back to just one paragraph, as opposed to three, I'd be happy to use  as opposed to a full tag.  As for molecular imprinting being a component of molecular recognition, it certainly is.  The problem being, this is an article about supramolecular chemistry - which generally doesn't include (though it should) protein-substrate interactions  --  this article presents it as an entirely synthetic concept.  I would think that a reference could easily be found where synthetic molecular imprinting has been done under the penumbra of "supramolecular chemistry."  Such a reference would be excellent.  Jeremiah (talk·cont) 16:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Unverified Claims or Possible Original Research

message: this edit will have to go, it is also included in green chemistry. Try to limit specific content to just one page V8rik 15:21, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I'm sorry.  I just thought that it was applicable to both articles, but I'm still getting the hang of editing--thanks for the info. Mrestko 23:31, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cycloaddition of trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (already in [[green chemistry]]) 

message: I wonder if the definition of supramolecular chemistry on this page is not broad enough.  The IUPAC definition is rather narrow.  A better definition might be found to include coordination complexes that still retain subunit function, but are definitely connected by covalent bonds.  Polynuclear ruthenium and osmium complexes bridged by polyimine ligands require rather harsh conditions (refluxing DMF) to be broken, often resulting in decomposition, not reversible reaction behavior.  There are other examples in the literature.  For examples see: Balzani, V. et al. Chem. Rev. 1996, 96, 759. or Sauvage, J.-P. et al. Chem. Rev. 1994, 94, 993.
:I think the definition is reasonably broad and well-supported.  The non-covalent bonding requirement is crucial to avoid encompassing all areas of chemistry. M stone 22:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition of supramolecular chemistry 

message: There is no obvious reason for this article and Host–guest chemistry being  separate articles. I suggest that these two articles need to be replaced by a single article. A re-write rather than a merge is needed. Is anyone interesting in helping me to do this? Petergans (talk) 09:04, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overlap with Host-guest chemistrry 

message: The caption to the fifth figure from the left gives the included species as " p-xylylenediammonium ". This name comes from the original publication. Can someone please specify the IUPAC name. The chemical formula of the included compound is [H3NCH2(C6H4)CH2NH3]2+. Petergans (talk) 09:37, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:   Help, please - nomenclature 

message: If nobody objects, then  move the gallery to commons:Supramolecular chemistry. But some one image should remain here to illustrate the topic. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:35, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gallery 

message: Many topics in the first half of the article do not mention any specific chemicals, reactions, or examples.  It is hard to understand what the author really means.  I am a person who thinks from concrete examples.  Could someone just mention an example in each paragraph that does not have one?  GoodExplainer (talk) 06:02, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
