It is incontestable that the interactions and bonds that keep molecules united to generate unique supramolecular compounds, with individual properties, morphologies and behaviour, are of special dynamics and singular forces. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss and consider the types of interactions that may occur in a determined system, their dynamics and number, which directly act on the energetic balance that strengthen the union between participants and give rise to a supramolecule.

... chapter, a number of such supramolecular systems that find application as any component of a biosensor are presented and discussed, considering intermolecular interaction forces that confer them shape, function and unique properties. To better understand their structural dynamics and the mechanisms through which they can be used in biosensing, a brief explanation on the interaction thermodynamics, types of intermolecular interactions that compete against each other and the energetic equilibrium that originate and stabilize supramolecular systems is given. To explain how this balance of forces can be extensively exploited to develop methods to produce supramolecular compounds, an overview on supramolecular strategies is presented and their contribution is explored in each example presented in this text, to evidence the importance of planning and developing methodologies of preparation, based on
