Encoded Helical Self-Organization and Self-Assembly into Helical Fibers of an Oligoheterocyclic Pyridine - Pyridazine Molecular Strand

Abstract

The conformational information of an oligoheterocyclic strand containing a repeating pyridine - pyridazine codon self-organizes into a helical molecular unit, which subsequently self-assembles into helical fibers and macrofibers in dichloromethane and pyridine. The spontaneous formation of helical structures is based on a general self-organization process enforced by the conformational information encoded within the molecular strand itself.
