title: Seeded Supramolecular Polymerization in a Three-Domain Self-Assembly of an N-Annulated Perylenetetracarboxamide.
abstract: The three-domain cooperative supramolecular polymerization of 1, together with the lag time in which the monomeric species remains inactive, allows seeded supramolecular polymerization to be performed. The kinetic experiments demonstrate that only seeds based on the intermediate aggregate are able to propagate the supramolecular polymerization of 1 from their active sites. The results presented herein constitute a new example of kinetically controlled supramolecular systems and contribute to expanding knowledge about the structural requirements of a self-assembling molecule to experience seeded supramolecular polymerization.
