Supramolecular functional materials are being applied in various fields. The majority of functional properties of such materials depend on shape and morphology. Thus, by controlling the crystal growth the morphology and specific properties can be tuned. One of the possible ways to control the growth of supramolecular crystals is to apply a reaction diffusion approach. Here, on the example of supramolecular self-assembly of melamine and barbituric acid, we demonstrate the possibility of transferring the reaction diffusion approach from media with high viscosity, as it was described previously, into the aqueous solutions.
