Abstract
The first six hour opening lecture of the Polish School on Supramolecular Chemistry has been given by Professor Jean-Marie Lehn. The scope of this new fast growing area was outlined. A special emphasis was placed on the development and perspectives of supramolecular chemistry. The majority of illustrated problems were taken from the author's papers published over the period of 1987-1990. References to the selected author's publications, which the lecture was based on, are listed below. They may also serve as a source of subsequent references helping in the finding of all problems studied at present.
