AnN‐Annulated, Rylene‐based Twistacene as Scaffold for Long Supramolecular Polymers

Abstract The multistep synthesis of the N ‐annulated rylenecarbodiimide 1 is reported. The large π‐surface and the operation of a fourfold array of H‐bonding interactions between the trialkoxybenzamide units yield highly stable supramolecular polymers, the stability of which has been quantified by applying the denaturation model. The operation of these non‐covalent interactions affords long 1D‐supramolecular polymers that have been visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM).
