126 Elastic Cycles as Flexible Hosts: How TubesBuilt by Cyclic Chalcogenaalkynes Individu-ally Host Their Guests
Rolf Gleiter and Daniel B. Werz
Tubular structures arise in the solid state through close chalcogen–chalcogen contacts. Different approaches to includeguest molecules into the hollow core are discussed. In some cases an enormous flexibility dependent on the size of the in-cluded guest molecule is observed.
132 Nanocrystals of Coordination Polymers
Takashi Uemura and Susumu Kitagawa
Development of synthetic method with controllable size and shape in nanometer regime as well as understanding of thesize and surface effects of coordination polymer (CP) nanocrystals is urgently requisite on behalf of future application of themto new organic–inorganic hybrid nanomaterials.

240 Synthesis and Charaterization of Hexagonal-like Fe3O4 via Glycothermal Route
Hexagonal-like Fe3O4 nanoflakes witha size of 100–200 nm were hydrothermally
synthesized from iron chloride viaglycothermal route. Diethylene glycol has a
significant influence on the formation ofhexagonal-like Fe3O4 nanocrystals.
