Folding-controlled assembly of <i>ortho</i> -phenylene-based macrocycles
Viraj C. Kirinda, C. Scott Hartley
Abstract
-phenylene octamers do not fit within macrocycles when perfectly folded, and quantitatively misfold to give small macrocycles regardless of substitution. Taken together, these results represent both a high level of structural control in structurally complex foldamer systems and the demonstration of large-amplitude structural changes as a consequence of a small structural effects.
