34. Modeling was performed using MacroModel 6.5 and the MMFF force-field: Mohamadi, F.; Richards, N. G. J.; Guidia, W. C.; Liskamp, R.; Caulfield, C.; Chang, G.; Hendrickson, T.; Still, W. C. J. Comput. Chem. 1990, 11, 440-467.
35. Compounds 3-10 do, however, show at best statistical heterodimerization with the enantiomers of 5 and 6, derived from D-isoleucine and D-valine, respectively.
36. CW and CCW refer to the head-to-tail urea directionality when viewed from the narrow rim of the arylurea 1 in the heterodimer. R or S refers to the absolute stereochemistry of the amino acid side chains.
37. Possibly observed here, CH/π interactions can significantly influence molecular conformation: Umezawa, Y.; Tsuboyama, S.; Takahashi, H.; Uzawa, J.; Nishio, M. Tetrahedron 1999, 55, 10047-10056 and references therein.
38. 6. Upon heating from 295 to 345 K the heterodimer concentration decreases by 20%, and assembly is driven to the homodimeric states, in agreement with entropic arguments, while the selectivity remains essentially unchanged. See the Supporting Information for details.

60. The second, bold-faced R or S represents the stereochemistry of the guest.
61. Similar selectivity is also observed in the binding of β-butyrolactone. This guest is not bound in the 1-2 heterodimer.
62. Although encapsulated, 3-methylcyclopentanone is a relatively poor guest for assembly 1-2.
