Nanoscale Borromean links for real.

چکیده
Borohydride reduction of a Borromean Ring (BR) complex containing six zinc(II) ions and 12 imine bonds has resulted in its demetallation, producing a neutral BR compound and also its free macrocycle, following cleavage of at least one of the imine bonds in the ethanolic reaction mixture.

An 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 کاملBorromean Entanglement Revisited
An interesting analogy between quantum entangled states and topological links was suggested by Aravind. In particular, he emphasized a connection between the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and the Borromean rings. However, he made the connection in a way that depends on the choice of measurement basis. We reconsider it in a basis-independent way by using the reduced density matrix.
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.
متن کاملAn infinite chainmail of M6L6 metallacycles featuring multiple Borromean links.
Borromean rings or links are topologically complex assemblies of three entangled rings where no two rings are interlinked in a chain-like catenane, yet the three rings cannot be separated. We report here a metallacycle complex whose crystalline network forms the first example of a new class of entanglement. The complex is formed from the self-assembly of CuBr2 with the cyclotriveratrylene-scaff...
