Harlan Ellison is undoubtedly one of the most audacious, infuriating, brazen characters on the planet. Which may help explain why he is also one of the most brilliant, innovative, and eloquent writers on earth. _Slippage_ simply presents recent, typical Ellison. In a word, masterful. The 21 stories

β¦ Synopsis
At elevated temperatures, the crown ether dibenzo [30]crown-10 (DB30C 10) slips over the (relatively) bulky 3,5-(t-Bu)2C6H3CH 2 termini of a bisammonium dication--bearing two secondary ammonium centers separated through a p-xylylene spacer--to form primarily a three-component rotaxane-like entity--stabilized by, inter alia, [N+-H...O] and [C-H...O] hydrogen bonds--that has been characterized by liquid secondary ion (LSI) mass spectrometry (in the "gas phase"), 1H NMR spectroscopy (in solution) and X-ray crystallography (in the solid state). However, this species equilibrates, in solution, with the free DB30C10 macrocycle and its two-component rotaxane-like congener, a result that demonstrates that the products obtained from the slippage synthesis are pseudorotaxanes.
