MOLECULAR BASKET COATED MICRO PARTICLES
First Claim
1. A micro particulate composition comprising:
- molecular baskets, each molecular basket having a molecular framework defining an exterior region and an interior target receiving region having a physical structure and/or chemical functionality for selectively receiving and binding a corresponding target material; and
porous micro particles onto which the molecular baskets are dispersed and impregnated, the micro particles having a high total surface area provided by external micro particle surfaces and internal pore surfaces.

Abstract
Micro particulate compositions include molecular baskets deposited on the surface and impregnated within pores of micro particles. They may be used to detect and/or separate a target material in a sample. Molecular baskets include a molecular framework defining an exterior region and an interior target receiving region. Micro particles may have a high total surface area provided by external surfaces and internal pore surfaces. Micro particulate compositions are manufactured by dispersing molecular baskets onto outer surfaces and within internal pores of porous microparticles (e.g., as a solution or suspension within a solvent). Analytical devices for detection and/or separation of target materials in samples include a micro particulate composition configured to facilitate contact between the micro particulate composition and a sample.
