Abstract
, preference for the dimension, shape and chemical nature, is not guided by any complementary recognition site, which is commonly required for "chemical specificity". Insights from crystal structures and computational studies unveil that the differences in the different types of noncovalent host-guest interaction strengths, acting in a concerted fashion, yield the unique selectivity.
