Abstract

Understanding the formation of complex supramolecular self-assembly is needed to design and form supramolecular polymers with desired properties. In this project report, I examine the self-assembly behaviour of an L-Tyrosine Perylene bisimide (L-Tyr PBI). L-Tyr PBI exhibits two distinct chiral aggregates: a kinetic and a thermodynamic aggregate. These two aggregates, together with monomers, exhibit pathway complexity. The kinetic aggregate is an anti-cooperative aggregate that can be converted to the thermodynamic aggregate by selectively disrupting hydrogen bonding. The thermodynamic aggregate formed is an isodesmic aggregate.
