Self Assembly Through Hydrogen Bonding: Preparation of a Supramolecular Aggregate Composed of Ten Molecules

Fifty-four (!) hydrogen bonds stabilize the single supramolecular aggregate (1) formed from the cooperative selfassembly of ten molecules. Compound 1, designated as Hub-(MMM)3 · 9 neohex(CA) by the authors—conventional nomenclature and even the drawing of structural formulae are overtaxed—, further demonstrates the potential of molecular self assembly as a strategy for the preparation of well-defined chemical nanostructures.
