Illustrations of the fibres and their molecular building block

Caption

On the left, the molecular building block for the fibres, comprising a carbonylbridged triarylamine core (red), three amide moieties (blue) and chiral bulky peripheries (grey). Selfassembly in ndodecane results in single supramolecular nanofibres, Which can be assembled in bundles of supramolecular nanofibres.
