Discrete Chiral Single-Crystal Microtubes Assembled with Honeycomb Coordination Networks Showing Structural Diversity and Borromean Topology in One Single Crystal

摘要

In spite of the abundance of tubular entities in nature,synthetic tubular architectures have not drawn so much attention until the discovery of carbon nanotubes;Since then,there has been immense interest in the design and construction of artificial nano/microscale hollow materials due to a wide perspective in the fields of nano-and biotechnology,chemical sensors and reactors,and drug deliver or channel systems.
