Chiral Spaces: Dissymmetric Capsules Through Self-Assembly

Open access
Rivera, José M., Martı́n, Tomás, Rebek, Julius·1998·Science

Abstract

Molecules with self-complementary surfaces interact through weak intermolecular forces to form assemblies, and the assembled states frequently exhibit distinctive properties. Described here are systems in which symmetrical molecules assemble through hydrogen bonding to produce capsules with dissymmetric cavities. The capsules form and dissipate on a time scale that permits their direct observation by nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, and they act as hosts for smaller molecular guests. Molecular recognition of chiral guests, such as naturally occurring terpenes, determines which dissymmetric cavities are preferentially formed in the assembly process.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
