Formation of Nanocolumn Self-Assembly by Solvent Polarity Control
The morphology of self-assembly formed by amphiphilic complementary components, 5-(4-dodecyloxybenzylidene)-2,4,6-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinetrione and 4-amino-2,6-didodecylamino-1,3,5-triazine, was changed from square and rectangle sheets into nanocolumns and helixes corresponding to a recognition pattern change from a linear tape to a cyclic hexamer or a helically grown tape by varying the polarity of the solvent.
