COMMUNICATIONS Fig. 3. Energy-minimized structure shows the formation of a macrocycle from the cationic bolaamphiphiles 2-4 through hydrogen bonds between the carbonyi 0 atom and the amide NH group. When X = I, the counterion disturbs the binding interaction by increasing the N --0 distance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
