| Abstract: The crystal structures of two series of 1,4-benzene bisamides with symmetric and asymmetric peripheral substitution were solved by NMR crystallography. The authors found that the bulkiness of the side groups guides the supramolecular self-assembly into one of two specific packing patterns. Their anisotropic crystal-growth behavior results in a defined nano-object morphology. Slim side chains, in our case perfluorinated alky chains, led to ribbon-like nano-objects, whereas bulky side chains led to thin platelets |
