What is often referred to as 'self-assembly' is a representative example of spectacular new synthetic techniques, extending from organic materials (mesophases) to gigantic organic and inorganic structures and solid state networks.

Presently, the total synthesis of this natural substance seems to be beyond the possibilities offered by modem synthesis. M. Sasaki, N. Matsumori, T. Maruyama, T. Nonomura, M. Murata, K.
