Control of the bottom-up self-assembly of ionic bent-core dendrimers has been systematically studied by mol. design. This process gave rise to architectures with diverse packing, shapes and dimensions to construct structured materials at the nanoscale. The compact organization of the mols. achieved in bent-core mesophases was transferred or induced to self-assemblies in the presence of water – even in the case of non-mesogenic dendrimers. The subtle balance of mol.-mol. and mol.-solvent interactions regulated the morphol. of the aggregates and these ranged from rods, non-twisted or twisted fibers, helical ribbons and nanotubes. The structure obtained was dependent on the choice of dendritic nucleus, the bent-core structure (from 5 to 3 aromatic ring systems), the lateral moiety and the length of the outer flexible tails. The rigid nature of the chem. structure controlled the type of mol. packing in the layers and allowed mol. conformational chirality to be transmitted to the supramol. aggregates, despite achiral mols. being used. The short/long terminal chain lengths determined the type of curvature of the ribbons. Some of these self-assemblies are proposed as alternatives to the attractive and widely applied helical nanofilaments formed by bent-core mesogens, but, thanks to their amphiphilic nature, the novel compounds can be processed from solution Moreover, the self-assembly process was studied in an effort to elucidate the aggregation mechanism of these bent-shaped amphiphiles and to define exptl. protocols to provide high quality and homogeneous aggregates. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2COA of Formula: C13H12O2).
4-Benzyloxyphenol (cas: 103-16-2) belongs to ethers. Esters are also usually derived from carboxylic acids. It may also be obtained by reaction of acid anhydride or acid halides with alcohols or by the reaction of salts of carboxylic acids with alkyl halides. Cyclic esters are called lactones, regardless of whether they are derived from an organic or inorganic acid. One example of an organic lactone is γ-valerolactone.COA of Formula: C13H12O2
