Photoresponsive Supramolecular Assemblies Based on a C₃‐Symmetric Benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxamide‐Anchored Diarylethene

A functional C3-symmetric benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide-anchored diarylethene molecule (C3-BTE) is synthesized, which evolves into ordered superstructures with tunable morphology properties both in different solvents and via alternative light stimuli. The formation of rod-like assemblies from C3-BTE is reported and the self-assembly property of C3-BTE can be realized through alternative light stimuli in nonpolar solvents such as toluene.
