Abstract

Abstract: A new synthetic strategy for the elaboration of supramolecular species and molecular compounds containing noncovalently interacting components is described, with the long-term objective of constructing highly ordered, wholly synthetic assemblies from readily available starting materials. These could serve as a basis for the future development of mechanoelectrical and photoelectrical communication systems and devices capable of ...
