Abstract
An aromatic amphiphilic molecule consisting of three biphenyl groups and one styrene unit linked together with ether bonds as a rigid rod segment and polyethylene oxide with 17 repeating units as a coil segment was synthesized and its selfassembly behavior in the bulk state and aqueous solution was examined by DSC Xray scattering DLS and TEM This molecule based on a rod building block selfassembles into lamellar or hexagonal perforated layer HPL structures in the crystalline phase or liquid crystalline mesophase In an aqueous medium the molecule selfassembles into cylindrical aggregates and can be used as a supramolecular reactor for the Suzuki coupling reaction
