Abstract

A love of self: Narcissistic macrocyclic rings self-assemble into highly ordered, chiral [2]-catenanes displaying high component diastereoselectivity. The picture shows one such structure. One ring is shown in a space-filling representation (C green, O red, N blue, H gray), while the other is shown as orange sticks.
