m x n stacks of discrete aromatic stacks in solution.
Septuple columnar stacks of large aromatic molecules with solubilizing side chains have been synthesized via one-step multicomponent self-assembly. At increased concentrations in aqueous solution, m x n aggregates of aromatic stacks form. The simple addition of water induces lyotropic liquid-crystalline mesophases.
