Molecular recognition of non‐biological systems in aqueous media presents problems arising from the inherent difficulty of formation of host‐guest systems. Examples are given for recognition occurring at the air‐water interface—the most common type, where receptors from a monolayer at the interface (see Figure)—or in micelles or vesicles. The particular role of directional hydrogen‐bonding interactions is emphasized.
