Abstract

An effective supramolecular strategy for self-sorting between naphthalene-diimide (NDI) acceptor and dialkoxy-naphthalene (DAN) donor organogelators is reported. The concept is based on mismatch in the placement of the two amide functionalities in the donor and acceptor chromophores so that self-sorting ensured maximum effect of H-bonding.
