Abstract
A broad overview is presented about the importance of molecular
structure determination and about the structural considerations
that come in view when molecular units build assemblies. Structural
chemistry and crystallography constitute an integral part of
today's supramolecular chemistry as demonstrated by various
statements of giants of the field. The challenge of supramolecular
chemistry to the structural chemist is in detecting and understanding
the structural changes accompanyingmolecular recognition and assembly formation and in providing assistance for the design of new assemblies and molecular devices with desired properties.
