Abstract
Strong dipole moments have been built into two hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives (1 and 2) originating from the push–pull structure of the molecules with one electron-donating and one electron-withdrawing substituent. The influence of dipole moment on the self-assembly of HBCs in solution and in bulk has been investigated.
