title: Supramolecular binding of protonated amines to a receptor microgel in aqueous medium.
abstract: Polyanionic microgels containing negatively charged tetrazole binding sites show supramolecular binding of various protonated amines (e.g. dibucaine and spermine) in a competitive aqueous medium at millimolar concentration.
