Polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) is exploited to design hydrogen-bonded poly(stearyl methacrylate)-poly(benzyl methacrylate) [PSMA-PBzMA] worm gels in n-dodecane. Using a carboxylic acid-based RAFT agent facilitates hydrogen bonding between neighboring worms to produce...

A new polymorph of the cinnamic acid–isoniazid cocrystal has been prepared by slow evaporation, namely cinnamic acid–pyridine-4-carbohydrazide (1/1), C9H8O2·C6H7N3O. The crystal structure is characterized by a hydrogen-bonded tetrameric arrangement of two molecules of isoniazid and two of cinnamic acid. Possible modification of the hydrogen bonding was investigated by changing the hydrazide group of isoniazidviaanin situreaction with acetone and cocrystallization with cinnamic acid. In the structure of cinnamic acid–N′-(propan-2-ylidene)isonicotinohydrazide (1/1), C9H8O2·C9H11N3O, carboxylic acid–pyridine O—H...N and hydrazide–hydrazide N—H...O hydrogen bonds are formed.

Here we present the synthesis and characterisation of four hydrogen bonded systems based on thiourea derivatives. These motifs are considered to be stable and desirable for supramolecular hydrogen-bonded functional materials. Interpretation of the structural design of thiourea based ligand and its incorporation into metal complexes can contribute to the understanding of preorganised self-assembly and open new pathways in design of novel soft materials. This work contributes to the unexplored library of hydrogen bonded metal complexes based on iridium. Further we examined the photoluminescence of the system of general formula [Ir(C^N)<sub>2</sub>(N^S)] and the effect of hydrogen bonding on the emission properties when combined with different <i>n</i>-heteroacenes.

The carboxylic acid group is an example of a functional group which possess a good hydrogen-bond donor (–OH) and acceptor (C=O). For this reason, carboxylic acids have a tendency to self-assembly by the formation of hydrogen bonds between the donor and acceptor sites. We present here the crystal structure of N-tosyl-L-proline (TPOH) benzene hemisolvate {systematic name: (2S)-1-[(4-methylbenzene)sulfonyl]pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid benzene hemisolvate}, C12H15NO4S·0.5C6H6, (I), in which a cyclic R 2 2(8) hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acid dimer with a strong O—(1 \over 2H)...(1 \over 2H)—O hydrogen bond is observed. The compound was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy, and crystallizes in the space group I2 with half a benzene molecule and one TPOH molecule in the asymmetric unit. The H atom of the carboxyl OH group is disordered over a twofold axis. An analysis of the intermolecular interactions using the noncovalent interaction (NCI) index showed that the TPOH molecules form dimers due to the strong O—(1 \over 2H)...(1 \over 2H)—O hydrogen bond, while the packing of the benzene solvent molecules is governed by weak dispersive interactions. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database revealed that the disordered dimeric motif observed in (I) was found previously only in six crystal structures.

Abstract Janus cylinders are one-dimensional colloids that have two faces with different compositions and functionalities, and are useful as building blocks for advanced functional materials. Such anisotropic objects are difficult to prepare with nanometric dimensions. Here we describe a robust and versatile strategy to form micrometer long Janus nanorods with diameters in the 10-nanometer range, by self-assembly in water of end-functionalized polymers. The Janus topology is not a result of the phase segregation of incompatible polymer arms, but is driven by the interactions between unsymmetrical and complementary hydrogen bonded stickers. Therefore, even compatible polymers can be used to form these Janus objects. In fact, any polymers should qualify, as long as they do not prevent co-assembly of the stickers. To illustrate their applicative potential, we show that these Janus nanorods can efficiently stabilize oil-in-water emulsions.
