Dynamic combinatorial chemistry is defined as combinatorial chemistry under thermodynamic control; that is, in a dynamic combinatorial library (DCL), all constituents are in equilibrium. This requires the interconversion of library members into one another through a reversible chemical process, which can involve covalent bonds or noncovalent interactions including metal-ligand coordination (see section 2).Dynamic combinatorial chemistry is unique in that the composition of the library is determined by the thermodynamic stability of each of the library members under the particular conditions of the experiment. This makes DCLs powerful tools in identifying thermodynamic minima, which is useful in a number of different contexts. One application is the identification of the most stable structure in mixtures of structures with different conformational properties (foldamers)(Figure 1a). Those structures that have the most favorable internal noncovalent interactions will be stabilized and formed in preference over those library members that lack such stabilization (see section 4.5). Stabilization of specific library members can also take place through intermolecular noncovalent interactions between library members, the library composition being biased toward those members that form stable assemblies or aggregates (Figure 1b). Although this approach has received little attention (see section 4.4), it has real potential for the discovery of self-assembling molecules including interlocked architectures and new soft materials. Thermodynamic control in DCLs implies that changing the conditions of the experiment can induce changes in the library composition; that is, dynamic combinatorial libraries will respond to external influences. In principle, this responsiveness can be exploited in numerous fashions: for instance, for the discovery of compounds with strongly temperatureor pressure-dependent properties or compounds that respond to light or electric or magnetic fields.
