The influence of imperfect walls on the guest binding properties of hydrogen-bonded capsules?

Abstract

Three classes of hydrogen-bonded capsules with imperfect walls have been prepared and characterized. The defects reduce the symmetry of the capsules, leading to rich isomerism. The missing hydrogen bonds provide additional flexibility to the capsules and exert an influence on their guest binding properties in different assemblies.
