Described here are the synthetic details en route to an array of 2-nm-tall anthropomorphic molecules in monomeric, dimeric, and polymeric form. These anthropomorphic figures are called, as a class, NanoPutians. Using tools of chemical synthesis, the ultimate in designed miniaturization can be attained while preparing the most widely recognized structures: those that resemble humans.

As part of IYC2011, every week I'd discuss something cool about chemistry with my organic chemistry class. After the radical chapter, we talked about the arrow-pushing mechanism of ozone/oxygen natural interconversion and the mechanism of CFC-catalyzed ozone...
linked to by 1The world of the nanoputian is much more diverse than the initial white-bread, basic, vanilla portrayal of Jim Tour’s nanoworld. We, and our wonderful readers, have undertaken the long and arduous task of documenting the whole world of these weird and...
