on the interactions of pyrogallol[4]arene ligands with large metal ions. Interaction of C-ethylpyrogallol[4]arene with calcium ions led to the formation of two unprecedented dodecameric nanocapsules in the solid state with a large internal volume. Interaction of C...

This thesis examines four different molecular systems that are in part or substrates for larger structural motifs that resemble spheres or tubes. The first project used donut shaped cucurbituril and through functionalization ...
