Unraveling Pathway Complexity in the Supramolecular Polymerization of Z-Shaped Perylenediimides: From Kinetic H-Aggregates to Thermodynamic Null Supramolecular Polymers

science

This work reports the synthesis of Z-shaped PDI (Z-PDI) 1 and explores its self-assembly behavior. The lateral trialkoxybenzamide moieties in compound 1 promote the formation of metastable monomeric units (M*) through intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which undergo kinetically controlled supramolecular polymerization. This process exhibits pathway complexity, yielding H-type aggregates (AggI(H)) under kinetic control and, remarkably, null aggregates (AggII(n)) under thermodynamic control. The...
