Thomas Fyles developed bola-amphiphiles based on this type of molecule to serve as lipid membrane vesicles when dispersed in water.
Hyun used these molecules as the stationary phases in liquid chromatography experiments. Thomas Fyles developed bola-amphiphiles based on this type of molecule to serve as lipid membrane vesicles when dispersed in water. These molecules possess a three-dimensional form known as cryptands, and have an aza analogue called cyclen. Potassium fluoride can dissolve in benzene when this type of molecule is present because the potassium ion can fit in the internal cavity of these molecules. Often used as phase transfer catalysts, they were discovered by Charles Pederson of DuPont, and they usually consist of at least four oxygens in a ring of twelve or more atoms. For 10 points, name these cyclic polyethers.
