title: Role of complementary H-bonding interaction of a cyanurate in the self-assembly and gelation of melamine linked tri(p-phenyleneethynylene)s.
abstract: Melamine-functionalized tri(p-phenyleneethynylene) self-assembles to form opaque and weak gels in aliphatic solvents which turned transparent and stable upon addition of a cyanurate, affording supramolecular nanostructures with distinct physical properties.
