چکیده
The X-ray crystal structure of 1,12-dodecane diammonium (C(12)DA(2+)) encapsulated in cucurbit[8]uril reveals an unconventional U-shaped conformation of C(12)DA(2+), which is attributed to the favorable host-guest interactions to overcome the charge-charge repulsion of the two ammonium groups in close proximity and high internal strain.

Binding Modes of a trans-Vinylbipyridinium Surfactant Bearing a Hexadecyl Chain to Cucurbit[n]uril (n = 6-8) in Aqueous Solution
Alkyl chains of naturally occurring fatty acids usually adopt the strain-free extended conformation in solution or gas phase. However, the conformations of alkyl chains are highly environment-dependent. Sometimes they adopt unusual, seemingly high-energy conformations. For example, alkyl chains confined in synthetic hosts adopt helical conformations. Another example is U-shaped conformations. F...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Finned U-Shaped Heat Pipe of CPU Cooling System Using Different Fluids
This paper experimentally studies the heat absorption performance of a heat sink with vertical embedded heat pipes in the aluminum blade. The cooling system with embedded heat pipes distributes heat from the CPU to both the base plate and the heat pipes, and then transfer heat from fins to the Environment. The thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient are evaluated for natural convection...

Atomic force microscope (AFM) has been developed at first for topography imaging; in addition, it is used for characterization of mechanical properties. Most researches have been primarily focused on rectangular single-beam probes to make vibration models simple. Recently, the U-shaped AFM probe is employed to determine sample elastic properties and has been developed to heat samples locally. I...
متن کاملMolecular structures of glycal-based bolaamphiphiles: analysis of crystal packing and hydrogen-bond networks.
The crystal structures for the glycal bolaamphiphiles, 1,12-bis-(2,3-alpha-D-erythro-hex-2-enopyranosyloxy)-dodecane (1) and 1,12-bis-(2,3-alpha-D-threo-hex-2-enopyranosyloxy)-dodecane (2), were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The structure for 1 showed that the alpha:alpha and alpha:beta diastereomers co-crystallized, with occupancy factors determining an isomeric ratio of 69:31. ...
