title: Reactions under the click chemistry philosophy employed in supramolecular and mechanostereochemical systems.
abstract: Supramolecular chemistry and mechanostereochemistry have been major beneficiaries of the concepts and reactions pioneered under the "click chemistry" philosophy. The success of the copper(I) 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between azides and alkynes, resulting in the triazole ring has inspired the application of other emerging click reactions, for example, Diels-Alder cycloadditions, thiol-ene/yne chemistry, and nitrile N-oxide cycloadditions, towards the creation of advanced functional supramolecular and mechanostereochemical systems. In this Focus Review, recent advances in the use of click chemistry in these fields are highlighted.
