Abstract

Unprecedented information concerning how the relative roles of different hydrophobic effects evolve during multistep hydrophobic assembly processes is provided by using a unique type of experiment to resolve the underlying energetics of individual growth steps in the formation of a structurally well-defined micelle-like organic aggregate of n-butyrate ions within a porous inorganic-oxide nanocapsule.
