The self-assembly of three novel lipophilic guanosine derivatives at the solid/liquid interface lead to the generation of either G-ribbons, lamellar G-dimer arrays or the G4 cation-free architectures.
Amino ester-based benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) are widely studied experimentally for their facile self-assembly, which leads to strong three-fold hydrogen bonded supramolecular polymers.
Controlled synthesis of hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) remains challenging, because the self-assembly of ligands is not only directed by weak hydrogen bonds, but also affected by other competing van der...
