title: Synthesis of hydrophobic derivatives of the G/\C base for rosette nanotube self-assembly in apolar media.
abstract: Eleven self-complementary G/\C derivatives bearing hydrophobic moieties were synthesized and characterized. One representative derivative from this family was shown to self-assemble into rosette nanotubes in hexane and form Langmuir-Blodgett films at the air-water interface.
