Abstract

Aromatic hydrocarbons form co-crystals with aromatic fluorocarbons. 5 Aliphatic fluorocarbons, on the other hand, will not co-crystallize with aliphatic hydrocarbons. 6 We reasoned that if we equip electron-rich conjugated π-systems with electron-donating aliphatic hydrocarbon side chains and electron-poor conjugated π-systems with electron-withdrawing fluorocarbon side chains, then the mutual phobicity of the side chains will drive the molecular assembly ...
