Narcissistic versus Social Self‐Sorting of Oligophenyleneethynylene Derivatives: From Isodesmic Self‐Assembly to Cooperative Co‐Assembly

Abstract

Narcissistic versus social! The self-assembly of two structurally related oligophenyleneethynylene derivatives featuring polar or nonpolar peripheral chains is reported. Their remarkable narcissistic versus social self-sorting behaviour in aqueous media can be controlled by concentration and solvent changes.
