## Interfacial molecular recognition and chirality in amphiphilic assemblies In nature, interfacial molecular recognition and chirality are of fundamental significance for the construction of biological assemblies. Biological receptors are situated at interfaces of supramolecular biological systems

β¦ Synopsis
Recent experimental and theoretical studies on functional self-assemblies formed at interfaces are presented and placed in perspective to earlier studies. The focus is on chiral and achiral systems that are at the boundary between two-dimensional and three-dimensional architectures and investigated at almost molecular level. More specifically, we present studies on: (i) self-organization of achiral molecules and separation of racemates into two-dimensional enantiomorphous domains at the air-water interface; (ii) molecular recognition between solute molecules and Langmuir films; (iii) the structural correlation between chiral morphology of mesoscopic architectures and the absolute configuration of the component molecules; (iv) polymerization of amphiphilic molecules at various interfaces and (v) the use of two-dimensional films as templates in three-dimensional crystallization, with relevance to biomineralization.
