The synthesis of two pairs of enantiomeric cyano-luminogens 1 and 2, in which the central chromophore is a p-phenylene or a 2,5-dithienylbenzene moiety, respectively, is described and their supramolecular polymerization...
The multistep synthesis of the N-annulated rylenecarbodiimide 1 is reported. The large π-surface and the operation of a fourfold array of H-bonding interactions between the trialkoxybenzamide units yield highly stable supramolecular polymers, the stability of which has been quantified by applying the denaturation model. The operation of these non-covalent interactions affords long 1Dsupramolecular polymers that have been visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
