Molecular Recognition (Supramolecular Chemistry) in organic chemistry deals with the "lock and key " mechanisms that form new molecules. However, little is known of this subject when moleules go beyond 1500 daltons (g/mole) for example macromolecules of polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene), thermoplastic polyesters and polyamides (nylon). It is understood that pre-directional H bonding is the mechanism of molecular recognition of macromolecules.
