title: Alternated stacks of nonpolar oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene)-BODIPY systems.
abstract: Supramolecular chemistry: The self-assembly of an oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene)-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (OPE-BODIPY) system into alternated 1D π stacks in solution exhibited liquid-crystalline properties at room temperature. This system represents a new approach towards a controlled dye organization exclusively driven by π-π interactions (see figure).
