Nest building : a method to create a rigid hydrogen‐bond receptor through the simultaneous binding of three thiol substituent groups to a gold surface is reported (see picture: red=O, gray=C, blue=N, yellow=S, purple=Au surface atom). These receptors are able to distinguish and select for π surfaces with a complementary size, shape, and hydrogen‐bonding code.
