Mw. Hosseini et al., A MOLECULAR APPROACH TO SOLID-STATE SYNTHESIS - PREDICTION AND SYNTHESIS OF SELF-ASSEMBLED INFINITE RODS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (18), 1994, pp. 2135-2136
Strict self-assembly of complementary dianionic and dicationic tetrahy
drogen bond donors and accepters leading to infinite molecular chains
in the solid state is achieved in aqueous solution using both directio
nally controlled hydrogen bonding and ion-pairing electrostatic intera
ctions.
