Fig. 1: Concept and design of a cycloalkane-based micelle.
From: Three host peculiarities of a cycloalkane-based micelle toward large metal-complex guests
Schematic representation of a a typical micelle, b an aromatic micelle, and c a micelle with cycloalkyl groups designed in this work. d A typical, linear alkane-based amphiphile, SDS, e bent polyaromatic amphiphile AA, and f cycloalkane-based, bent amphiphile CHA. g Side and bottom views of the optimized structure of CHA (DFT calculation, B3LYP/6-31G(d) level, white: hydrogen; gray and orange: carbon, red: oxygen, blue: nitrogen).
