High pressure supramolecular chemistry

High pressure supramolecular chemistry is a developing interdisciplinary field. The use of high pressure for the study and fabrication of supramolecular systems has been explored only in the past few years. Such studies would shed light on the nature of the structures and functions of the complex supramolecular architectures. In this review, systematic progress made in this field is introduced based on the recent achievements. Special attention is paid to pressure-driven novel properties and functions of supramolecular assemblies resulting from the changes of molecular conformations, intermolecular interactions and supramolecular arrangements under high pressure.
