Single [2]catenanes in solution forming -plats: a combined field theoretical and numerical approach
Franco Ferrari, Marcin R. Piątek
The statistical mechanics of [2]catenanes in a solution with constrained number of maxima and minima along a special direction (the height) is discussed. The interest in this syste…
