Abstract

In this paper, we report the synthesis and aggregation properties of new self-complementary organic molecules containing guanidinium and carboxylate groups. The crystal structures of the guanidinium carboxylates showed linear bidentate hydrogen bonding between the guanidinium and the carboxylate groups. In the case of phenyl derivative 7, steric factors force a non-planar geometry for the hydrogen bonding subunit. Substitution of the phenyl ...
