title: Discrete, multi-component complexes with cucurbit[8]uril in the gas-phase.
abstract: The formation of modular, multi-component, host-guest complexes stable both in water and in the gas-phase is described; by modulating the stoichiometry of the different subunits in aqueous solution, quantitative self-assembly of the predicted and desired architecture is achieved, even allowing for ABA triblock copolymer assemblies stable in the gas-phase.
