Unimolecular micelles were successfully synthesized from mucic acid, fatty acids, and poly(ethylene glycols) to create biocompatible polymers. These polymers consist of a core-shell structure that resembles conventional micellar structures but with significant thermodynamic stability in aqueous medi

โฆ Synopsis
There is more than one way to assemble the two halves of a tethered, urea-substituted calix[4]arene dimer (shown schematically): formation of unimolecular capsules (far left), dimers, or oligomers. By combination of NMR spectroscopy and electrospray mass spectrometry, a hexamethylene spacer was shown to be exactly right to permit the preferential formation of a unimolecular capsule under inclusion of solvent or other guest molecules.

Interesting organometallic compounds can often be obtained by replacement of (hydro)carbon groups of organic compounds with isolobal transition metal fragments. [1] For example, the CH 2 group in CH 2 CHR can be replaced by 16electron transition metal fragments [L n M] to give carbene complexes [L n
