title: Charge-based assemblies comprising planar receptor-anion complexes with bulky alkylammonium cations.
abstract: Charge-by-charge assembly: On the basis of a planar receptor-anion complex, bulky tetraalkylammonium cations were found to construct charge-by-charge assemblies comprising alternately stacked positively and negatively charged species. The number and length of long alkyl chains in the cations determine the states of assembled structures, resulting in the formation of a library of charge-based materials (see scheme).
