Our childhoods may be recalled when a self-complementary cation, endowed with both a dibenzo[24]crown-8 macroring and a secondary dialkylammonium sidearm, self-assembles to form a two-component supramolecular architecture that is reminiscent of a daisy chain (depicted schematically on the right). This daisy-chain-like superarchitecture is stabilized by a combination of [N+−H⋅⋅⋅O] hydrogen bonds and aryl–aryl stacking interactions.
I don’t know when I noticed, but at some point between the NMR suite on the ground floor and the lab on the seventh floor, I looked at the NMR tube and saw what I can only describe as BLOODY HUGE CRYSTALS in there. The boss was away, but the senior postdocs booked me on a train the very next day to carry my precious cargo to Imperial College in London, where our crystal structures were all solved. The rest is history, and the crystal structure got me an Angewandte paper — and ended up being the basis for one of the chapters in my thesis...
As for research reproducability, all was well:
As a postscript, I should point out that the deuterated solvent, the strong magnetic field of the NMR machine, the spinning at 20 Hz for 30 minutes and the periodic shunting around an NMR-machine carousel were NOT required for the crystallization. In repeat experiments, a mixture of ethyl acetate and regular acetonitrile produced crystals in a vial sitting quite still on the bench top in the absence of a strong magnet…

, unfortunately, in annoying Wiley frame.
CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic
(which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments.
It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions.
The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager
like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
