Self – assembly is a powerful tool for the construction of highly organized nanostructures. Therefore, the possibility to control and predict pathways of molecular ordering on the nanoscale level is a critical issue for the production of materials with tunable and adaptive macroscopic properties. 2D polymers are attractive objects for the field of material sciences due to their exceptional properties. [1] As shown before, amphiphilic oligopyrenotides (produced via automated solid-phase synthesis) form rod–like supramolecular polymers in water. [2] These assemblies form 1D objects. [3] By applying certain changes to the design of the oligopyrenotide units the dimensionality of the formed assemblies can be influenced. Herein, we demonstrate that Py3 (see Figure 1) forms defined supramolecular assemblies under thermodynamic conditions in water. To study Py3 self-assembly, we carried out whole set of spectroscopic (UV/vis, fluorescence, DLS) and microscopic experiments (AFM). The obtained results suggest that oligopyrenotides with the present type of geometry and linker length leads to formation of 2D supramolecular assemblies.
