title: Molecular-shape selectivity by molecular gel-forming compounds: bioactive and shape-constrained isomers through the integration and orientation of weak interaction sites.
abstract: A molecular gel system was assembled on carrier particles and the integrated effect of weak interaction sites enabled highly efficient separation of the bioactive and shape-constrained isomers of tocopherols, β-carotene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by multiple interaction mechanisms.
