Self-assembled nanotubes that reversibly bind acetic acid guests.

چکیده
A large bis-urea macrocycle was synthesized and assembled into columnar nanotubes containing a sizable cavity. This purely organic nanotube is held together primarily by hydrogen bonding and yet shows remarkable thermal stability up to 180 degrees C in the presence and absence of acetic acid guest. This enables the nanotube to be used as reusable organic zeolite.

pH-Controlled selection between one of three guests from a mixture using a coordination cage host
We demonstrate the use of a simple pH swing to control the selection of one of three different guests from aqueous solution by a coordination cage host. Switching between different guests is based on the fact that neutral organic guests bind strongly in the cage due to the hydrophobic effect, but for acidic or basic guests, the charged (protonated or deprotonated) forms are hydrophilic and do n...
متن کاملHIGHLIGHT Self-Assembled Organic Nanotubes: Toward Attoliter Chemistry
Diverse chemical functionalization of the inner and outer surfaces of the nanotubes enables us to sense and visualize the encapsulation and transport behavior of biomacromolecular guests. The event occurs specifically in attoliter volume nanospace inside the hollow cylinder of the nanotubes. Comparison of the organic nanotube history with that of wellknown carbon nanotubes and a variety of mole...

A new Schiff base 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayer (SAM) has been fabricated on a bare gold electrode as a novel sensor for determination of dopamine. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopywas utilized to investigate the properties of the Au 2-aminothiophenol furfural self assembled monolayermodified electrode (Au ATF SAM-ME) using the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox couple. The electro...
متن کاملField-effect transistors assembled from functionalized carbon nanotubes.
We have fabricated field-effect transistors from carbon nanotubes using a novel selective placement scheme. We use carbon nanotubes that are covalently bound to molecules containing a hydroxamic acid functionality. The functionalized nanotubes bind strongly to basic metal oxide surfaces, but not to silicon dioxide. Upon annealing, the functionalization is removed, restoring the electronic prope...
متن کاملSelf-assembled helical spherical-nanotubes from an L-glutamic acid based bolaamphiphilic low molecular mass organogelator.
An L-glutamic acid based bolaamphiphile was observed to self-assemble into a novel "helical spherical-nanotube" with a molecular monolayered structure within a tubular wall.
