In reactions with weak dienophiles, cyclooctatetraene (COT) often yields 2:1 adducts possessing the fluxional bicyclo[5.1.0]octadiene moiety.

Complementary small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was employed to determine the structures involved. The colloids used are gold nanoparticles functionalized with protein resistant oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) thiol, HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)6OMe (EG6OMe).
