A collaborative research team from Kanazawa University and Kyoto University reports the successful visualization of how densely assembled macrocyclic host molecules cooperatively capture guest molecules on a surface. Using two advanced atomic force microscopy techniques, AFM, the team directly observed host-guest complex formation as well as reversible association-dissociation dynamics at the single-molecule level.
