Morphologically Tunable Supramolecular Rectangular Microsheet and Microsaw Constructed by Hierarchical Self‐Assembly Based on Hydrogen Bonds

Abstract

An amino acid derivative, thiophene (TDAV), as new building blocks for 2D supramolecular assembly is designed. Various square and rectangular microsheets are achieved and the aspect ratios are precisely regulated by controlling the polarity of cosolvent or water content. By the introduction of chirality, the novel microsaw is also achieved. It provides a new approach to prepare various kinds of unique supramolecular 2D materials with controllable shapes and sizes for future biological applications.
