title: The influence of ethylene glycol chains on the thermodynamics of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular assemblies in apolar solvents.
abstract: Substitution of hydrogen bond directed supramolecular assemblies with ethylene glycol chains leads to a reduction in the association constant in apolar solvents, where the reduction of the association constant is dependent on the length of the aliphatic spacer connecting the hydrogen bonds and the ethylene glycol chain.
