Molecule of the Week

Superbowl

U.S. football fans have been looking forward all year to Super Bowl XXXIX on February 6. Australian researchers recently made their own "superbowls" by linking five smaller bowl-shaped molecules (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 16747–16749). These molecules have potential use in drug delivery, sensing, catalysis, and separations.
