title: Supramolecular design of a bicomponent topochemical reaction between two non-identical molecules.
abstract: We report the first design of a topochemical reaction between two non-identical reactants using a supramolecular chemistry approach. A coassembly of two sugar-based organogelators with complementary reacting motifs, viz. azides and alkynes, undergoes topochemical Huisgen reaction between them.
