Molecular shape-persistent macrocycles

Although the presentation so far has been concerned with isolated supramolecules or in homogeneous solution, hetereogeneous effects are, of course, also subject of constant theoretical developments. For instance, the requirements for the formation of a chiral template was addressed only recently [266] on the basis of DFT calculations for propylene oxide on Pd(lll) surfaces. Another example Molecular dynamics simulations on shape-persistent macrocycles revealed that...
