Helical supramolecular aggregates of sugar-based perylene dyes: the effect of core-substituted groups†
Abstract
Here we have shown that it is possible to modulate π–π stacking, hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions to further adjust the supramolecular helicity by simply changing the core-substituted group. These modulated supramolecular interactions provide a new pathway to the controlled production of helical superstructures.
