title: Hydrogen bonding self-assemblies with 1-D linear, dimeric and hexagonal nanostructures of meso-pyridyl-substituted dipyrromethanes.
abstract: Dipyrromethanes with meso-pyridyl groups form various hydrogen bonding structures such as dimeric and hexagonal structures and infinite chains. The formation of the self-assembled structures and chains depends on the existence of meso-pyridyl nitrogen in the solid state.
