13. Throughout this paper the trivial name cavitand will be used for the rigidified tetrameric resorcinarene framework of the adsorbates. The official IUPAC name is 7,11,15,28-tetrakis(XX)-1,21,23,25-tetra-(YY)-2,20:3,19-dimetheno-1H,21H,23H, 25H-bis[1,3]dioxacino(5,4i:5′,4′i′]-benzo[1,2d:5,4d′] bis[1,3]benzodioxocin, in which XX refers to the aromatic rings substituents and YY to the methylene bridge substituents.

20. Measurements with toluene were also carried out but did not g ive reliable signals for any of the adsorbate monolayers. The intensity o f the signals was high, suggesting strong interaction with the adsorbates, However, they contiuously changed and the layers showed results obtained with toluene are not reported in this paper.

31. The solutions were not buffered because, after some initial measurements carried out with aqueous solutions of guests, no dependence of the acidity of the solutions on the interactions with receptors 1-4 could be detected.
32. It is beyond the scope of this paper to discuss the principles of SPR; for detailed studies, see: Mittler-Neher, S.; Spinke, J.; Liley, M.; Nelles, G.; Weisser, M.; Back, R.; Wenz, G.; Knoll, W. Biosens. Bioelectron. 1995, 10, 903.
33. For the comparison of the results obtained on the receptor layer, other reference layers could have been used. Different types of reference layers, for example hydroxyl-terminated and perfluorinated alkanethiol monolayers, are currently being studied to try to determine in which case the interactions with the guests are minimal.

37. Concentretion dependence experiments were not carried out w ith adsorbates 2-4 because there was no reason to believe that these receptor layers would behave in a fundamentally different way from adsorbate 1.
38. At higher guest concentractions than those depicted in Figure 5, receptor curve and reference curve continue to diverge.
