Whereas in the past such AAD-DAA self-complementarity has given rise to trimeric and hexameric rosettes, we now demonstrate that the same H-bonding scheme, when properly arrayed, can be used to program a tetrameric rosette, which unlike a G-quartet requires no metal binding or peripheral components for p reorganization. Of note, we exploit both 2D-NOESY and DOSY H-1 NMR to substantiate the tetrameric stoichiometry in this noncovalent rosette comprising 12 H-bonds.}, keywords = {BASE, CHEMISTRY, COMPLEXES, DERIVATIVES, FOLIC-ACID SALTS, HELICAL ROSETTE NANOTUBES, HYDROGEN-BONDED NETWORKS, MOLECULAR TECTONICS, RECOGNITION, solid-state structures}, isbn = {0002-7863}, url = {://000259553700012}, author = {Asadi, A. and Patrick, B.
