Body-centred cubic packing of spheres - the ultimate thermotropic assembly mode for highly divergent dendrons
{{output}}
We have synthesized sodium tris(alkoxy)benzoates in which one of the three alkyl chains branches further into three C18H37 chains. These AB5 hyperbranched minidendrons melt directly into a body-centred cubic (BCC) mesophase formed by spherical "micelles". In c... ...
