The Pm n cubic and other low‐symmetry Frank–Kasper phases are known to be formed by
soft spheres, ranging from metals to block copolymer micelles and colloidal nanoparticles …

Novel benzothiadiazole-based bolaamphiphiles comprising a donor–acceptor–donor
(thiophene–benzothiadiazole–thiophene) π-conjugated rod, two diol groups at the terminals …

Liquid state self‐assembly is important for the understanding of the complex structures
developed in abiogenesis and biogenesis as well as for numerous potential technological …

Development of new functional materials requires the understanding of the fundamental
rules of complex superstructure formation in self-assembling systems. Here we report new …

Square and other rectangular nanoscale tiling patterns are of contemporary interest for soft
lithography. Though soft square patterns on a≈ 40 nm length scale can be achieved with …

Molecular tessellations are known in solid state systems and their formation is often induced
or supported by a periodic surface lattice. Here we discover a complex tessellation on the 10 …

Rod-like bolapolyphiles with highly branched carbosilane-based side-chains self-assemble
into several honeycomb structures if the oligo (p-phenylene ethynylene) core is …

An ionic liquid (IL) is a salt in the liquid state that consists of a cation and an anion, one of
which possesses an organic component. Because of their non-volatile property, these …

Polyphilic self-assembly leads to compartmentalization of space and development of
complex structures in soft matter on different length scales, reaching from the morphologies …

Rod-like liquid crystalline (LC) polyphilic compounds with a linear oligo
(phenyleneethynylene) core, sticky glycerol groups at each end and two long alkyl side …
