Abstract

Mother nature detects individual molecules by their shape and functionality. Modern technology can do the same in some instances, but we have so much still to learn. This presentation will discuss how multiple, weak interactions can be used for the selective detection of metal ions, organic and biological molecules using carefully designed coordination polymers.
