The “chundle” approach to molecular channels synthesis of a macrocycle-based molecular bundle

Abstract A molecular sheaf 7 formed by bundles of oligo(oxyethylene) chains grafted on a macrocyclic polyether has been synthesized; its structural features characterize an approach to the design of transmembrane molecular channels.
