The thermally induced conformational switching of a stacked dialkxoynaphthalene-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide (DAN-NDI) amphiphilic foldamer to an NDI-NDI fibril aggregate is described. The aggregated fibril structures were explored by UV/Vis, circular dichroism (CD), atomic-force microscopy (AFM), and TEM techniques. Our findings indicate that the aromatic DAN-NDI interactions of the original foldamer undergoes transformation to a fibrillar assembly with aromatic NDI-NDI stacked interactio ...[more]
