title: Organic and organometallic nanofibers formed by supramolecular assembly of diamond-shaped macrocyclic ligands and Pd(II) complexes.
abstract: Stacked rings: A diamond-shaped macrocycle with two inward phenanthroline ligands and outward long alkyl chains, and its Pd(II) complex form organic and organometallic fibrous aggregates, respectively, as revealed by NMR, UV/Vis, AFM, and TEM measurements. The most likely structures are face-to-face stacked macrocycles, generating nanotubes.
