title: Fabrication and transformation of novel two-dimensional tripod structures: structural modulation by alkyl chain length and tandem Claisen rearrangement.
abstract: Novel two-dimensional C3 symmetric (tripod) structures are fabricated from isobutenyl compounds possessing long alkyl chains. Alteration from tripod to wavy structures is accomplished by odd-even effect, and tandem Claisen rearrangement allows the transformation to the linear structures.
