title: Magnetic alignment in solid state and temperature hysteresis in aqueous tetrahydrofuran solution for tetrathiafulvaleno[18]annulenes.
abstract: Tris(tetrathiafulvaleno)dodecadehydro[18]annulene-hexaesters have a multi-functionality that is very sensitive to small differences in the ester side-chain. Self-aggregation of the [18]annulenes in amphiphilic media such as THF-H(2)O (v/v, 1:1) either produce a fibrous structure or result in temperature hysteresis of the color and (1)H NMR signals. This temperature hysteresis in solution is due to both strong self-aggregation behavior and unique cluster formation in a binary solution of THF and water.
