Supramolecular chemistry is a comparatively young field that to date has mainly been focused on building a foundation of fundamental understanding. With much progress in this area, researchers are seeking to apply this knowledge to the development of commercially viable products. In this review we seek to outline historical and recent developments within the field of supramolecular chemistry that have made the transition from laboratory to market, and to bring to light those technologies that we believe have commercial potential. In doing so we hope we may illuminate pathways to market for research currently being conducted.
超分子化学是一个相对年轻的领域，迄今为止主要集中在建立基本理解的基础上。随着这一领域的许多进展，研究人员正在寻求将这些知识应用于开发商业上可行的产品。在这篇综述中，我们试图概述超分子化学领域从实验室到市场的历史和最新发展，并揭示我们认为具有商业潜力的技术。通过这样做，我们希望为目前正在进行的研究指明通往市场的道路。
