Abstract
This review introduces recent research in the area of self-assembled nanostructures from rod molecules in solutions; in particular one-dimensional nano-aggregates such as fibers, ribbons, tubules are highlighted. Self-assembled nanostructures are well-known to be strongly dependent upon the architecture of molecular building blocks; thus, in this review we discuss assembling behavior and the related functions associated with molecular shapes such as simple rod–coils, macrocycles, dendron–rod–coils, dumbbells, wedges and conjugated rods with lateral chains. In addition, biomimetic or bioconjugate amphiphilic rod systems are described.
