Abstract

Laminated nanotapes were fabricated via conformation specific self-assembly of two N-annulated perylene derivatives (NPDs). The assemblies in solvated states were characterized using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM), and their nanostructures were modulated by the synergistic interactions of π-π stacking and hydrogen bonds.
