Abstract

Symmetrically substituted hexakis(alkoxy)triphenylene (HAT) derivatives were assembled into single molecular thick 2D nanosheets, which stacked further to give multilayered nanofibers through a convenient solution process. Detailed information on molecular arrangement was unraveled by various imaging techniques and diffraction studies.
