51. [17] However, this situation holds only true if achiral dyes are stacked in a helical fashion. Here, the different amplitudes of the positive and negative parts of the bisignated CD couplets might arise from the intrinsic molecular chirality of these twisted PBIs (see: V. Büß, C. Reichardt, Chem. Commun. 1992, 1636-1638).
52. Evidently, in the case of (rac)-2b more than two species are involved due to the possibility of homo- and heterochiral dimers formation. Thus, the dimerization process is either highly stereoselective or both dimers exhibit almost identical UV/Vis absorption spectra.

54. -2M concentration in n-hexane. On the basis of the measured colligative concentrations, aggregation numbers N of 2.5 and 2.3 are estimated for (rac)-2b and (P)-2b, respectively. These data again corroborate the formation of dimers in self-assembly of PBIs 2b.

56. To exclude concentration effects as a possible reason for the different chemical shifts of the aromatic protons of (rac)-2b and (P)-2b (or (M)-2b), a double-concentrated solution of (rac)-2b was measured relative to that of (P)-2b (or (M)-2b).
