The power of the Force : The rupture force of supramolecular bonds, as well as the unbinding dynamics of associated polymers, have been studied by AFM‐based single‐molecule force spectroscopy (AFM‐SMFS). The first quantitative comparison of bond‐rupture dynamics from independent AFM‐SMFS and NMR data is highlighted.
