Abstract:Hydrogen (H)‐bonding is crucial in constructing superstructures in chemical (such as chiral discotic liquid crystals (DLCs)) as well as in biological systems due to its specific and directional nature. In this context, we achieved the successful synthesis of two branches of heptazine‐based H‐bonded complexes using distinct strategies. Hpz*‐Es‐Cn, we incorporated chiral alkyl tails (Hpz‐chiral) onto the central C3 symmetric heptazine core, connected to achiral benzoic acid derivatives (Es‐Cn acid) through H‐bon… Show more
