Selenoamides modulate dipole–dipole interactions in hydrogen bonded supramolecular polymers of 1,3,5-substituted benzenes†
Abstract
We report the synthesis and self-assembly behavior of a chiral C3-symmetrical benzene-tricarboselenoamide. The introduction of the selenoamide moiety enhances the dipolar character of the supramolecular interaction and confers a remarkable thermal stability to the supramolecular polymers obtained.
