Abstract
several distinct mechanisms, which are supported by extensive thermodynamic and structural studies in aqueous media. The commercial availability, low cost, high stability, and biocompatibility of these synthetic receptors has led to the development of myriad applications. This comprehensive review compiles the molecular recognition studies and the resulting applications with the goals of providing a valuable resource to the community and inspiring the next generation of innovation.
