Taking multicalixarenes into the nanoworld: first third-generation calixarene dendrimer.
We report the first synthesis of a dendritic multicalixarene, featuring twenty-one calixarene units, which when adsorbed onto mica, forms regular assemblies which can then further aggregate to form larger clusters.
