Abstract
Self-assembly from flexible worm-like threads via bundles of rigid fibers to nanosheets and nanotubes was achieved by covalent conjugation of perylene monoimide (PMI) chromophores with oligoprolines of increasing length. Whereas the chromophoric π-system and the peptidic building block do not self-aggregate, the covalent conjugates furnish well-ordered supramolecular structures with a common wall/fiber thickness. Their morphology is controlled by the number of repeat units and can be tuned by seemingly subtle structural modifications.
