Abstract
Thermodynamic aspects of Supramolecular Chemistry are presented. These include solubility properties of calix n)arenes and their ester derivatives in various (reaction media on the binding properties of calixarene esters toward alkali metal cations; ii) cyc odextrins on the transfer of drugs from water to chloroform. A brief introduction on the role of macrocyclic ligands for the design of new materials is given. An initiative to encourage research on the thermodynamics of new electrolytes and non-electrolytes originating in the developments in the area of Supramolecular Chemistry is suggested. solvents. Particular attention is 6 rawn to the effect of i) "allosteric guests"
