Supramolecular fibers and microbelts from a phthalhydrazide derivative of crown ether with alkyl chains
Assemlbing behaviors of some crown ether derivatives with alkyl chains were investigated. It was found that a phthalhydrazide derivative was unique among them in that it assembles into fibers in solution, which transform into microbelts on the surface of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite.
