Abstract The self-assembly and self-organization behavior of chromophoric acetylenic scaffolds bearing 2, 6-bis (acetylamino) pyridine (1, 2) or uracyl-type (3–9) terminal groups has been investigated by photophysical and microscopic methods. Systematic absorption and luminescence studies show that 1 and 2, thanks to a combination of solvophilic/ solvophobic forces and π–π stacking interactions, undergo self-organization in apolar ...
