Abstract
Molecular and supramolecular assemblies, some of which should be amenable to electrochemical control, have been assembled from molecular components composed of simple building blocks. Self-assembly in chemical systems appears to take place under very precise constitutional control and, in some cases, it is easier to construct the molecular and supramolecular assemblies than it is to make some of the molecular components on their own.
