L. Isaacs et al., Design, synthesis and self-association behavior of water soluble self complementary facial amphiphiles, CHEM COMMUN, (24), 1999, pp. 2549-2550
Self-complementary facially amphiphilic derivatives of glycoluril are usefu
l building blocks for hydrophobic self-assembly in water; we describe the d
esign, synthesis and characterization of six dimeric self-assembled structu
res with values of K-S up to 1840 M-1 in pD 7.4 buffered D2O.
