On planet Earth, water is everywhere: the majority of the surface is covered with it; it is a key component of all life; its vapour and droplets fill the lower atmosphere; and even rocks contain it and undergo geomorphological changes because of it. A community of physical scientists largely drives studies of the chemistry of water and aqueous solutions, with expertise in biochemistry, spectroscopy and computer modelling. More recently, however, supramolecular chemists - with their expertise in macrocyclic synthesis and measuring supramolecular interactions - have renewed their interest in water-mediated non-covalent interactions. These two groups offer complementary expertise that, if harnessed, offer to accelerate our understanding of aqueous supramolecular chemistry and water writ large. This Review summarizes the state-of-the-art of the two fields, and highlights where there is latent chemical space for collaborative exploration by the two groups.
在地球上，水无处不在：地球表面的大部分都被水覆盖；水是所有生命的关键组成部分；水蒸气和水滴充满了低层大气；甚至岩石中也含有水，并因水而发生地貌变化。一个由物理科学家组成的社区在很大程度上推动了对水和水溶液化学的研究，他们在生物化学、光谱学和计算机建模方面具有专业知识。然而，最近，超分子化学家——他们在大环合成和测量超分子相互作用方面具有专业知识——重新对水介导的非共价相互作用产生了兴趣。这两个群体提供了互补的专业知识，如果加以利用，将有助于加速我们对水的超分子化学和广泛的水的理解。这篇综述总结了这两个领域的最新进展，并强调了这两个群体可以通过合作探索的潜在化学空间。
