Abstract

A new class of 1,3,5-triazine-based quadruple hydrogen-bonded system featuring AADD-type self-complementary arrays has been developed and characterized. This system forms highly stable molecular duplex in non-polar solvent (Kdim >1.9×107 m-1 in CDCl3 ) without prototropy-related issues, raising its prospects for application in supramolecular polymer science.

Keywords: dimerization; prototropy; quadruple hydrogen bonding; self-assembly; triazines.
