Electronically and geometrically complementary perylenediimides for kinetically controlled supramolecular copolymers

Abstract

The synthesis of 3,4,9,10-benzo[d,e]isoquinolino[1,8-g,h]quinoline-tetracarboxylic diimide (BQQDI) 1 endowed with peripheral trialkoxybenzamide fragments is reported and its self-assemblig features investigated. The peripheral benzamide moieties generate metastable monomeric species that afford a...
