Abstract

There are numerous examples in nature that demonstrate the crucial role of hydrogen bonds. Through imitation of this phenomenon, hydrogen bonds have been used to good effect by researchers to achieve specific synthetic targets.[1] Fields such as supramolecular chemistry and materials science are indebted to this strategy,[2] and important breakthroughs have been achieved by exploiting these inter-or intramolecular “strong and ...
