Abstract
This paper describes the spontaneous and reversible assembly of similar to 20 kDa synthetic hydrogen-bonded assemblies via the formation of 144 cooper ative hydrogen bonds. These nanostructures (similar to3.0 x 5.5 nm), consis ting of 27 different components, have been carefully characterized using a combination of H-1 NMR spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF MS using Ag+-labeling, gel p ermeation chromatography, and CD spectroscopy.
