The largest single-strand molecular wheel: Ga(20) from a targeted, diolate-induced size modification of the Ga(10)'gallic wheel'.
A Ga(20) single-strand wheel has been prepared by a targeted, propane-1,3-diolate-induced size modification of the known Ga(10)'gallic wheel'; the Ga(20) reverts back to Ga(10) on treatment with an excess of MeOH.
