Self-Assembling Capsules: From Molecular Recognition to Hydrogen-Bonded Liquid Crystals and Fibers
Source abstract
Abstract
“Tennis balls”, “softballs”, and “footballs“ can all be self-assembled from appropriately shaped molecules via hydrogen bonding. The assembly and uses of these capsules as hosts and catalysts are surveyed as are the liquid-crystalline and fibrous properties of hydrogen-bonded capsule polymers, or polycaps—promising alternatives to covalent polymers. The Figure shows the mechanism of guest exchange in a capsule.
