Self‐Assembly and Molecular Recognition by Synthetic Receptors at the Oil‐Water Interface in Aqueous Microdroplets

ABSTRACT Aqueous microdroplets in a bulk fluorous oil medium confer unique behavior on self‐folding water‐soluble synthetic receptors (deep cavitands). The lipophilic, yet water‐soluble cavitands self‐assemble at the water‐oil interface, coating the surface of the microdroplet ra...
