Description:

(abstract)

C3-symmetric hexadehydrotribenzo[12]annulene ([12]DBA) derivative with three tetradecylamide chains capable of hydrogen-bonding interaction formed either a two-dimensional lamellar (LM) or a one-dimensional (1D) nanofiber (NF) molecular assemblies, depending on the association state of the amide hydrogen bonds in
solution phase. The intermolecular amide hydrogen-bonding modes in the LM and NF structures were different from each other. The NF structure was metastable less stable than the LM structure, and was obtained through organogel formation. In chloroform, the [12]DBA derivative exhibited 1D association behavior following the isodesmic model due to intermolecular amide hydrogen bonds, whereas the presence of acetonitrile inhibited this association state. The NF structure had larger amplitude dynamics about the polar amide group than that of the LM structure, undergoing a phase transition from the NF to the LM structures upon heating. The absorption spectra of the NF and the solid state LM were different from each other, exhibiting a different optical properties. The coexistence of intermolecular amide hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions among the C3-symmetric molecules resulted in polymorphic phenomena, where energetically similar molecular assemblies were expressed.
