Abstract

Abstract Herein, the relationship between the supramolecularly self-assembled nanostructures and the chemical structures of coil-rod-coil molecules is discussed. A series of nonamphiphilic coil-rod-coil molecules with different alkyl chains, central mesogenic groups, and chemical linkers were designed and synthesized. The solvent-mediated supramolecular self-assembling of these coil-rod-coil molecules resulted in rolled-up ...
