Abstract
A supramolecular mesophase was prepared from molecular recognition dir ected self-assembly of two complementary molecular components, namely ecyloxybenzylidene)-2,4,6-(1H,3H)-pyrimidinetrione and 4-amino-2,6-did odecylamino-1,3,5triazine. Differential scanning calorimetry measureme nts indicate a mesophase having liquid crystalline properties. Infrare d studies suggest that not only hydrogen bonds but also pi-aromatic st acking and van der Waals interactions direct the formation of the meso phase.
