For the preparation of your Diederich webpage appearance you need to
fill out the Webpage_Template which you can find on the next page.
Do not change the formatting of the word file.
For the publications also use the format of the template, you do not need
to use bold or italics (this will be done by the webmaster in html).
Save your filled template as “lastname.doc” e.g. “gottschalk.doc” and
send it to the webmaster.
Please send pictures separately as jpg files! Do NOT embed the pictures
in the word template!
The picture size of the portrait should have a height of 246 pixels. Other
pictures you want to use to illustrate the text should not exceed
width=600 pixels and height=400 pixels.
Name the picture files as follows:
- for the portrait: “lastname.jpg” e.g. gottschalk.jpg
- for the illustrations: “lastname_picture1.jpg, lastname_picture2.jpg,
etc. ...” e.g. gottschalk_picture1.jpg
Please remember not to put any delicate information about your projects
as this can be seen by everyone. Do not show unpublished results. You
are asked just to give a very general overview what you are doing. The
contents of your abstract are your own responsibility; the webmaster
does not proofread your script!
Thank you very much.

Switchable Container Molecules
Reversible switching between an open and a closed conformation is the key
property of novel container molecules that are based on the resorcin[4]arene
platform. Whereas the closed form binds cycloalkanes with high strength and
remarkable selectivity (cyclohexane is much preferred over cyclopentane and
cycloheptane), acid-induced switching converts the host to an open form that
immediately releases the encapsulated guest. This process is fully reversible:
Neutralization of the acid completely and immediately restores the guest-hosting
properties of the container molecule.
