Daisy chain

When supramolecular polymers are treated with bulky stopper groups, they may form poly[2]rotaxane daisy chains [32,60-68]. Cyclic tri[2]rotaxanes (daisy chain necklace) containing cyclodextrins have been prepared from the mixture of 6-(4-aminocinnamoyl)-Q -CD and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid sodium salt [50,59] in an agueous solution (Fig. 21). If the molecule changes its conformation (or co-conformation), the ring may expand or shrink by external conditions (temperature, solvents, photochemically, elec-trochemically). These compounds are important because the cycle can be used as a chemical valve as seen in ion channels in biological membranes.

6-p-ferf-BocCiNH-/3-CD formed intramolecular complexes. When adaman-tane carboxylic acid was added in the solution of 6-p-ferf-BocCiNH-j6-CD, the adamantane group was included in the f)-CD cavity and the cinnamoyl group was kicked out of the cavity to expose in water [62], As the extension of the formation of supramolecular polymer, adamantane carboxylic

Since the fitting process is an iterative one, an initial guess for the parameters must be obtained. This is often the most troublesome and/or inconvenient aspect of any optmization procedure. We have developed an interactive front-end for our fitting routine that is both fairly convenient and effective in this context. All initial parameters are generated from responses to prompts. First the data is displayed (in our case, for device independence, on a conventional line printer daisy-chained to the CRT terminal). From this display, esitmates of E j and Ep at a given...

Naturally, it is possible to extend the daisy-chain . The compounds formed from the interlinking of two rings are termed [2]-catenanes and we will conclude this section by showing one approach to a [3]-catenane. This illustrates another type of ring closure reaction, but is still dependent upon the conformational control of the metal ion in orienting the reactive ends of the precursors.

External cabling uses thick, shielded cables run from adapter to device to device in a fashion known as daisy-chaining (see Figure 4.15). Each device has two ports on it (most of the time). When hooking up external SCSI devices, you run a cable from the adapter to the first device. Then you run a cable from the first device to the second device, from the second to the third, and so on. 

External devices only In the next situation, you have external devices only (Figure 4.17). By external devices, we mean each with its own power supply. You connect the devices in the same manner you connected internal devices, but in this method you use several very short (less than 0.5 meters) stub cables to run between the devices in a daisy chain (rather than one, long cable with several connectors). The effect is the same. The adapter and the last device in the chain (the one with only one stub cable attached to it) must be terminated. 

Both internal and external devices Finally, there s the hybrid situation in which you have both internal and external devices (Figure 4.18). Most adapters have connectors for both internal and external SCSI devices—if yours doesn t have both, you ll need to see if anybody makes one that will work with your devices. For adapters that do have both types of connectors, you connect your internal devices to the ribbon cable and attach the cable to the adapter. Then, you daisy-chain your external devices off the external port. Finally, you terminate the last device on each chain, leaving the adapter unterminated. 

Through the use of daisy-chaining and USB hubs, a single USB port can support (theoretically) 127 devices. The USB can also moves data much faster than traditional devices do—up to 12MBps (megabytes per second). 

SCSI Acronym for small computer system interface. A high-speed, system-level parallel interface defined by the ANSI X3T9.2 committee. SCSI is used to connect a personal computer to several peripheral devices using just one port. Devices connected in this way are said to be daisy-chained together, and each device must have a unique identifier or priority number.
