Template-guided organization of chromonic liquid crystals into micropatterned anisotropic organic solids.
We have developed an approach to generate micropatterns of anisotropic organic materials which exploits the self-organization, driven by pi-stacking and hydrophobic interactions, of an ionic perylenebis(dicarboximide) in aqueous solutions.
