Abstract
Intermolecular interactions at interfaces are surprisingly facilitated compared to those observed in bulk aqueous solutions. This may be the key to unraveling some of the mysteries in biological systems. Within confined interfacial media, complicated receptor sites can be spontaneously formed, and the formation of precise nanostructures can be accomplished. Furthermore, two-dimensional systems can bridge macroscopic actions with nano-level functions. In fact, the interface can be used to control molecular machines (capture and release of desired molecules), macroscopic mechanical movements such as hand motions, and tunable molecular recognition as a new molecular recognition mode. The latter feature will open a new page in supramolecular chemistry and nanoarchitectonics.
