Nano- and micrometer-scale crystals of a self-assembled hexamer have been synthesized via sonochemistry. The application of ultrasonic irradiation afforded hollow rhombic-dodecahedral crystals of the C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene hexamer. The formation of the hollow crystals is attributed to a reversed crystal growth mechanism heretofore described only in the synthesis of inorganic-based materials.
通过超声化学合成了一种自组装六聚体的纳米和微米级晶体。超声辐射的应用提供了 C-甲基杯[4]杯芳烃六聚体的中空菱形十二面体晶体。中空晶体的形成归因于一种反转的晶体生长机制,这种机制以前仅在无机材料的合成中有所描述。
