title: Rationally controlled helical organization of a multiple-hydrogen-bonding oligothiophene: guest-induced transition of helical-to-twisted ribbons.
abstract: A cyanuric acid-functionalized quaterthiophene self-aggregates to form helical ribbons which are transformed into twisted ribbons upon complexing with a complementary bismelamine receptor.
