چکیده
Two homologues of supramolecular Borromean rings were obtained based on the halogen-bonding-driven self-assembly of iodide ions with telechelic diiodoperfluoroalkanes.

Borromean rings: a one-pot synthesis.
The aesthetics of beautiful molecules has been, and still is, a strong motivation for many chemists. Complex interwoven structures such as catenanes, rotaxanes, and knots are even nowadays appealing because of their interesting topological properties, although their functions as molecular machines have become more and more of the focus of interest. The ability of chemistry to realize the mathem...
متن کاملHalogen bonded Borromean networks by design: topology invariance and metric tuning in a library of multi-component systems.
A library of supramolecular anionic networks showing Borromean interpenetration has been prepared by self-assembly of crypt-222, several metal or ammonium halides, and five bis-homologous α,ω-diiodoperfluoroalkanes. Halogen bonding has driven the formation of these anionic networks. Borromean entanglement has been obtained starting from all the four used cations, all the three used anions, but ...
متن کاملAn Infinite Family of Convex Brunnian Links in R
This paper proves that convex Brunnian links exist for every dimension n ≥ 3 by constructing explicit examples. These examples are three-component links which are higher-dimensional generalizations of the Borromean rings. Figure 1. The Borromean Rings
متن کاملA Counterexample to the Strong Version of Freedman’s Conjecture
A long-standing conjecture due to Michael Freedman asserts that the 4-dimensional topological surgery conjecture fails for non-abelian free groups, or equivalently that a family of canonical examples of links (the generalized Borromean rings) are not A−B slice. A stronger version of the conjecture, that the Borromean rings are not even weakly A−B slice, where one drops the equivariant aspect of...
متن کاملNew states of matter suggested by new topological structures
We extend the well-known Borromean and Brunnian rings to new higher order versions. Then we suggest an extension of the connection between Efimov states in cold gases and Borromean and Brunnian rings to these new higher order links. This gives rise to a whole new hierarchy of possible states with Efimov states at the bottom.
