Monolayers of cyclodextrin host molecules on gold substrates are used as “molecular printboards” for the stable attachment of functionalized molecules through multiple supramolecular interactions. Adsorption is achieved through delivery as a supramolecular complex (see picture), whereas the desorption kinetics can be tuned by varying the cyclodextrin concentration in solution.
