砌塊

提示：此條目的主題不是[[:Строительный блок{{!}}Строительный блок]]（俄語：[[:ru:Строительный блок{{!}}Строительный блок]]）。

在化學領域，砌塊或分子砌塊是具有活性官能團的虛擬分子片段或真實的分子。^[1]砌塊可用於特定分子結構的「自下而上」組裝，並在納米顆粒、^[2][3]金屬有機框架材料、^[4]有機分子、^[5]超分子體系^[6]的構築中有所應用，使用砌塊可確保得到所需的最終產物或分子/超分子體系。^[7]

沙格列汀是一種抗糖尿病藥，它可由羧酸砌塊（BB1）和胺砌塊（BB2）為原料來合成。
