Intertwining triple helical nanofibers with an overall handedness have been formed from self-assembling chiral benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides , and , whereas the achiral benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide upon self-association gives rise to straight nanofibers without any twist and transmission electron microscopy images of chiral compounds clearly demonstrate that the handedness of the triple helical...

Self-assembling achiral and chiral porphyrin trimers based on benzene tricarboxamide exhibit amplification of chirality only in solvents in which the assemblies are dynamic enough to rearrange their constituting components.

Some benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) monomers derived from (l) α-amino esters self-assemble into long rods at millimolar concentrations, and display a strong chiral amplification effect. These rods are in competition with dimeric species.

We present the characterisation of a hydrogel forming family of benzene 1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives. The simple, easy to synthesise compounds presented here exhibit consistent gel formation at low concentrations through the use of a pH trigger.

The formation of supramolecular polymers in water through rational design of a benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) motif is presented. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic effects cooperate in the self-assembly into long fibrillar aggregates. Minimal changes in molecular structure significantly affect the internal packing of the aggregates.

A single photomechanical supramolecular nanowire actuator with an azobenzene-containing 1,3,5-tricarboxamide derivative is developed by employing a direct writing method. Single nanowires display photoinduced reversible bending and the bending behavior follows first-order kinetics associated with azobenzene photoisomerization. A wireless photomechanical nanowire tweezers that remotely manipulat...

Numerous self-assembling molecules have been synthesized aiming at mimicking both the structural and dynamic properties found in living systems. Here we show the application of hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry (MS) to unravel the nanoscale organization and the structural dynamics of synthetic supramolecular polymers in water. We select benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) deriv...

High-symmetry (left) and low-symmetry (e.g. that on the right) conformations of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide dimers derived from glycine alkyl esters are in rapid exchange solution through amide/ester competition for binding N–H donors.
