It means "composed of more than one molecule."
he Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry (MSN) Program focuses on basic research in chemistry that addresses the creation or study of macromolecular, supramolecular and nanoscopic species and other organized structures that show unique chemical and physical properties and reactivities therefore it is not a chemical but a chemical project tht is their
That type of weak interaction is called a hydrogen bond. It helps stabilize the native conformation by forming between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom and another electronegative atom.
A chemical garden is a formation that occurs when certain chemicals react with each other in a liquid solution, leading to the growth of intricate mineral structures that resemble plant-like forms. These structures often exhibit vibrant colors and unique patterns, making them visually striking. Chemical gardens are a fascinating example of self-assembly and can be used to demonstrate principles of crystal growth and supramolecular chemistry.
Crown ethers are useful in dissolving salts in organic solvents. For example, potassium permangante (KMnO4) normally does not dissolve appreciably in organic solvents, but will dissolve fairly well in the presence of 18-crown-6. The 18-crown-6 chelates the potassium ion (surrounds it), and drives the equilibrium toward dissolution.
A biophore is another term for a biophor - a supposed supramolecular unit of heredity.

Nanotechnology is the science revolving around building devices on an extremely small scale. Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale.

Crystal engineering is the design and synthesis of molecular solid-state structures with desired properties, based on an understanding and exploitation of intermolecular interactions. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_engineering Were getting into some advanced chemistry with this question. I will attempt to explain without getting too technical. It is a fairly recent branch of chemistry that began in the 1950s. but more so in the 1970s. Of course it does have to do with the study of the molecular properties of crystals. But to get a bit more technical. It started out as a the study of the crystal properties of cinnamic acid this of course comes form cinnamin and has a ton of organic chemical applications in food additives and industry. The research has broadened to included many aspects of solid-state supramolecular chemistry. Supramolecular chemistry focuses on noncovalent bonding. Nocovalent bonding has to do with molecules that bond under certain situations and become unboned in other situations like many of the complex molecules in the body; such as hemoglobin which attracts oxygen under certain conditions and releases it at other times. As you can guess crystal engineering has many cutting-edge applications in biochemistry.
Molecular addition compounds are materials formed by weak interactions between a host molecule and one or more guest molecules that are reversibly bound within the host structure. These compounds often exhibit unique physical and chemical properties different from those of the individual components. They are commonly studied in the field of supramolecular chemistry.

Nanotechnology occurs when there is a manipulation with molecular, atomic, or supramolecular matter. Examples of nanotechnology include paint that can repel dirt, modern airbag sensors, and high tech CD or DVD players.
The field of metal-based anticancer drugs was initiated by cisplatin, one of the leading agents in clinical use. Cisplatin acts by binding to DNA and forming 1,2 intrastrand cross-links. Its importance is reflected by the fact that it is estimated that 50-70 % of cancer patients are treated with a platinum drug. For some time, molecular designs in the metallo-drug field remained obdurately anchored in cis-diamine platinum chemistry, but now the field is evolving rapidly with a variety of alternate and very diverse designs being explored. These designs give rise to new spectra of activity and potency and can circumvent cisplatin resistance. This critical review considers the existing clinical platinum drugs, and those currently in commercial development, alongside the new designs including ruthenium anticancer and antimetastatic drugs in clinical trials, polynuclear drugs, organometallic drugs, titanium and gallium drugs, and emerging supramolecular metallo-drugs that act on DNA by noncovalent interactions. The rapid evolution of the field is being informed by post-genomic knowledge and approaches, and further dramatic step-change breakthroughs can be expected as a result; harnessing this knowledge and responding to and taking advantage of this new environment requires integration of chemistry and biology research.
