Abstract
A general supramolecular energy minimum has been predicted for tetrameric ' pinwheels', known as smallest units of herringbone-type suprastructures in H-aggregates and crystals of aromatic chromophores. As a proof of principle , we herein describe octi(p-phenylene)s that quantitatively self-assemble i nto novel tetrameric supramolecules in aqueous solution. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
