Bottom-up approaches are one strategy geared towards designing novel two-dimensional
materials. Supramolecular polymerization has proven to be an effective way of obtaining
these architectures due to the increasing control and tunability offered by different
functional groups, which are not afforded by conventional polymerization. In this
short review, we highlight examples of supramolecular assemblies held together by
well-known non-covalent interactions, as well as new approaches that are becoming
more relevant in recent years.
