B. Baumeister et S. Matile, Programmed assembly of expanded rigid-rod beta-barrels by supramolecular preorganization, CHEM COMMUN, (11), 2000, pp. 913-914
A simple strategy for (a) expansion and (b) variation of the internal chemi
cal nature of rigid-rod beta-barrels is reported, and the importance of sup
ramolecular preorganization for their programmed assembly is discussed.
