Two highly dipolar merocyanine dyes were tethered by a rigid tris (n-dodecyloxy) xylylene
unit that preorganizes the dyes for a supramolecular polymerization process through …

Three new molecular building blocks 1 a–c for supramolecular polymerization are described
that feature two dipolar merocyanine dyes tethered by p‐xylylene spacers. Concentration …

A series of well-defined chromophore stacks is obtained upon self-assembly of merocyanine
and bis (merocyanine) dyes in nonpolar solvents. Careful design of the spacer moieties …

A self-complementary Hamilton-receptor-functionalized merocyanine dye has been
synthesized by incorporating a hydrogen bonding receptor site to the donor moiety of a …

Step by step: Bis (merocyanine) dyes 1 self-assemble in a stepwise manner with increasing
concentration to afford supramolecular polymers, organogels, and liquid-crystalline phases …

J‐aggregates are highly desired dye aggregates but so far there has been no general
concept how to accomplish the required slip‐stacked packing arrangement for dipolar …

Conspectus π-Conjugation between heterocyclic donor (D) and acceptor (A) groups via a
polymethine chain leads to dyes with dipole moments greater than 10 D. These dipole …

Self-organization of natural nanostructures controlled by noncovalent interactions is an
important topic in biophysics. In most cases, such as protein folding, biological self-assembly …

Combined interaction of triple hydrogen bonding, dipolar π–π aggregation and micro-
segregation in a melamine–barbituric acid dye assembly leads to a columnar mesophase …

Here we report a synthetic protocol toward a merocyanine (MC) pentamer 1 which
represents the first merocyanine oligomer longer than a dimer. By continuously decreasing …
