- Lehn's efforts using preorganized small molecules to mimic the exquisite selectivity manifested by those ion channels in recognizing specific metals led to a paradigm shift in chemical thinking, and ultimately to his receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1987 with Donald Cram and Charles Pedersen.

In 1987, Jean Marie Lehn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, together with Donald Cram and Charles J. Pedersen. Professor Lehn's work developed into the chemistry of self-organisation processes, based on the design of "programmed" chemical systems that undergo spontaneous assembly of suitable components into well-defined supramolecular ...

Feb 18, 2013 · Chemistry is key for understanding the fundamental processes that underlie the evolution of matter towards states of increasing complexity through self-organization. It has developed from the molecular to the supramolecular level and has, through constitution dynamic systems, acquired the features of adaptive chemistry.

Introducing the concepts and results of supramolecular chemistry into materials science, led to the emergence and the development of supramolecular polymer chemistry, as a new area in polymer chemistry.
self-organization. Thus emerges the prime question set to science, in particular to chemistry, the science of the structure and transforma-tion of matter: how does matter become complex? What are the steps and the processes that lead from the elementary particle to the thinking organism, the (present!) entity of highest complexity?
