Org Biomol Chem. 2005 Aug 21;3(16):3008-17. doi: 10.1039/b506987d. Epub 2005 Jul 4.

Abstract

The design and chemical synthesis of a series of hybrid flexible self-assembling supramolecules utilising both crown ether-naphthalene diimide host-guest chemistry and metalloporphyrin-pyridyl coordination is discussed. The resulting compound structures and dynamics are probed using a variety of techniques, including diffusion ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) and cold-spray ionisation mass spectrometry (CSI-MS).
