Detailed description

Irregular rods with a min. diameter of ca. 150 Å and lengths of several tens of μm were formed in methylcyclohexane from complementary hydrogen-bond pairs of an alkylanate-derivatized melamine and a ‘Janus’ mol.; CD with exciton coupling was induced for the ‘Janus’ chromophore via hydrogen bonds, probably due to the structural regularity of the mol. assembly.
