Tailor‐Made Receptors by Molecular Imprinting

Molecular recognition is becoming increasingly important in both research and industry (e. g. water purification). This review focuses on molecular imprinting with cyclodextrins—highly useful because of their hydrophilic exterior and hydrophobic cavity—including the very effective strategy adopted by the authors (see Figure): Several host species are assembled to form a tailor‐made guest complex with extremely exclusive selectivity.
