Such complexes have a controlled adaptable proton transfer ability and/or a hydrogen bonding ability making them particularly useful as chemical reaction facilitators.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: San Diego State University FoundationInventor: Douglas Bryan Grotjahn
