ABSTRACT
The concept of integrative chemistry is based upon the tremendous potential of construction modes allowing for the rational combination of forms and functionalities of complex architectures of molecules. This science is interdisciplinary by nature as it associates chemical synthesis, physico-chemistry of complex fluids, physics and biology. This article starts with the presentation of certain precise examples of elaborated complex compounds, covering domains as large as optics, sensors or phase-separation processes. It then proceeds to presenting the properties obtained via this transversal approach before outlining future prospects. Integrative chemistry can be defined as a "tool-box" containing the necessary elements for the construction of complex architectures with pre-established properties.

INTRODUCTION
The concept of integrative chemistry, where the final function of the compound leads to the skills required to achieve it, opens the way to a rational approach to the design of innovative functional architectures, with functions ranging from catalysis to optics, via sensors or phase separation processes.
