Inclusion molecular networks

Figure 3 Schematic representation of the formation of inclusion complexes based on the recognition of a guest molecule by a host receptor (a), of a clathrate based on the inclusion of guest molecules within cavities generated upon packing of clathrands in the solid state (b), and of a 1-D inclusion molecular network named koilate formed through interconnection of hollow tectons (koilands) by connector molecules (c).

Given the range of host molecules that may be that be put into network structures and strong current interest in the inclusion properties of crystalline network materials, embedding molecular hosts into hydrogen bonded network structures will continue to be a fruitful and exciting area of inclusion and structural chemistry. 

Molecular imprinted polymers MIPs exhibit predetermined enan-tioselectivity for a specific chiral molecnle, which is nsed as the chiral template dnring the imprinting process. Most MIPs are obtained by copolymerization from a mixture consisting of a fnnctional mono-nnsatn-rated (vinylic, acrylic, methacrylic) monomer, a di- or tri-nnsatnrated cross-linker (vinylic, acrylic, methacrylic), a chiral template (print molecnle) and a porogenic solvent to create a three-dimensional network. When removing the print molecnle, chiral cavities are released within the polymer network. The MIP will memorize the steric and functional binding featnres of the template molecnle. Therefore, inclusion of the enantiomers into the asymmetric cavities of this network can be assumed as...
