Design and construction of multicomponent spheroidal assemblies on the nano-scale via the self-assembly approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
reported within the literature use metal-ions as the directing influence in ligand assembly (i.e. without the metal-ions, the ligands would not assemble into spheroidal structures). However the C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arene molecules can assemble into hexameric...
Ammonia elimination from protonated nucleobases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
