Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 14098-44-3, Name is Benzo-15-crown-5, COA of Formula: C14H20O5.
Complexation of the crown ether receptor of the benzo-15-crown-5 benzoate 6 <6,7,9,10,12,13,15,16-octahydro-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxabenzocyclopentadecen-2-ylmethyl 3,4,5-tris(p-dodecyloxybenzyloxy)benzoate> 6 with NaCF3SO3 and KCF3SO3 destabilizes the crystalline phase of 6 and induces the self-assembly of a supramolecular cyclindrical channel-like architecture which displays an enantiotropic thermotropic disordered hexagonal columnal (Phih) mesophase.Characterization of this supramolecular architecture was performed by a combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray scattering, thermal optical polarized microscopy, DC conductivity and molecular modelling.A model is proposed in which a stratum of the column is formed by ca. 5.8 molecules of 6 with their benzo-15-crown-5 receptors played side-by-side in the centre of the column and their melted alkyl tails radiating towards its periphery. endo-Recognition generated via the benzo-15-crown-5 receptor upon complexation, and exo-recognition provided by the tapered 3,4,5-tris(p-dodecyloxybenzyloxy)benzoate fragment of 6 (most probably functioning via hydrophobic-hydrophobic interactions) provide the driving force for the self-assembly of this channel-like supramolecule.This mechanism of self-assembly resembles that of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).
Balanced chemical reaction does not necessarily reveal either the individual elementary reactions by which a reaction occurs or its rate law.COA of Formula: C14H20O5. In my other articles, you can also check out more blogs about 14098-44-3
