This paper gives an overview of weak aggregation due to long-range mol. forces beyond the first neighbor. Such subtle self-assemblies are an important part of modern colloidal chem. and concern org. mols. as well as inorg. electrolytes and hybrid aggregates. Diverse aspects of such colloidal aggregations, as described in this special issue, can be characterized by the effective free energy per mol. involved. We discuss here expectations about emerging knowledge in this field and predictive modeling of inorg. as well as org. colloids and hybrid aggregates. Some still open questions are also given.
