Specific (host-guest) and unspecific (substrate-guest) interactions between self-assembled monolayers of cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) on gold (Au) substrates and neutral adamantyl (Ad) guests were resolved by studying these interactions at the single molecule level using dynamic force spectroscopy. The dissociation rate constants of the Ad-Au and the Ad-CB[7] interactions were 0.3 s(-1) and 0.03 s(-1), respectively, indicating that the specific binding is more stable. The probability of observing a specific interaction (40 ± 9%) is similar to the reported surface coverages of CB[7] monolayers on Au substrates. The higher strength and stability of the Ad-CB[7] interactions explains why, although presenting an imperfect coverage, CB[n] monolayers can be used successfully as a platform for surface immobilization
