Abstract: Nanostructured columns with a length about several tens of micrometer and a diameter of about 80 nm were obtained by molecular recognition directed self-assembly of a pair of comple mentary molecular components, 4-amino-2,6-didodecylamino-1,3,5-triazine (M) and 5- (4-dode cyloxybenzylidene)-(1H, 3H)-2,4,6-pyrimidinetrione (B) in chloroform. In this system, with positive cooperativity, r-aromatic stacking and van der Waals interactions as well as hydrogen bonds cause the formation of the nanocolumns.

Key words: Nanocolumn, Self-assembly, π-aromatic stacking, Molecular recognition
