Polymer-supported cationic templates for molecular recognition of anionic hosts in water.
Translocating solution-phase molecular recognition of oppositely charged hosts and guests to the solid phase represents a major challenge; we report a successful immobilisation strategy which allows selective host-guest interactions in water unencumbered by unwanted ion exchange-type interactions.
