Cyanurate-guided self-assembly of a melamine-capped oligo(p-phenylenevinylene).

A complementary guest induced morphology transition in a two-component multiple H-bonding self-assembly.

An oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) (OPV) dimer, whose OPV units are capped on their end by monotopic melamine hydrogen-bonding units, self-assembles in methylcyclohexane to form flexible fibrous nanostructures, which are transformed into rigid nanostrips upon adding ditopic cyanurates and reconverted to nanofibers upon adding a m-xylylene-linked bismelamine.

Guided supramolecular polymerization of oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) functionalized bismelamines.

Bismelamines end-functionalized with oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) self-aggregate in nonpolar solvent to form short nanorods by helical π-π stacking. This inherent self-aggregation can be guided to a supramolecular polymerization pathway by complexing with a cyanurate, leading to gel-forming elongated nanotapes lacking the helical sense of the π-conjugated moieties.

Role of complementary H-bonding interaction of a cyanurate in the self-assembly and gelation of melamine linked tri(p-phenyleneethynylene)s.

Melamine-functionalized tri(p-phenyleneethynylene) self-assembles to form opaque and weak gels in aliphatic solvents which turned transparent and stable upon addition of a cyanurate, affording supramolecular nanostructures with distinct physical properties.

ssPNA templated assembly of oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)s.

A single-stranded oligothymine peptide nucleic acid (PNA) was used as a template for the assembly of a chiral oligo(p-phenylenevinylene) diaminotriazine derivative (OPV) in methylcyclohexane (MCH) revealing nanostructures in which the size is controlled by the template.

Gelation-assisted light harvesting by selective energy transfer from an oligo(p-phenylenevinylene)-based self-assembly to an organic dye.
