title: Breaking the odd-even effect in the self-assembly of linear bis(benzamides).
abstract: The twisting of supramolecular aggregates formed from simple linear bis(benzamides) has been investigated. The antiparallel arrangement of the amide functional groups controls the generation of twisted supramolecular structures. The results presented herein could contribute to elaborate predictive tools applicable in the generation of chiral supramolecular structures.
