The influence of π-conjugated moieties on the thermodynamics of cooperatively self-assembling tricarboxamides.
A detailed investigation of the self-assembly behaviour of C3-symmetrical tricarboxamides reveals that a larger π-conjugated core does not increase the stability of assemblies in an apolar solvent but makes the system more sensitive to destabilization by addition of a good solvent.
