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