Fig. 3From: Emerging functional materials based on chemically designed molecular recognitionReproduced from Ref. [57] with permission from 2016 MDPIa The principle of template-directed dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) for receptor synthesis. b If a component of the dynamic combinatorial library (DCL) could interact with the target molecule (e.g., component B:C), its concentration will be dominant compared to the other components. Such feature can be monitored by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC; e.g., schematic illustration of HPLC traces is shown in lower right corner).Back to article page
